It's always occurred to me that it's really strange that an organisation with the resources that Micro$oft has can't get its own software right. Makes me wonder if, in this case, they just want to p!ss everyone off to such a degree that they just say, "Sod it, let's move to Vista".

I haven't installed a single update on my XP since SP1 and it runs fine; no random reboots, no security hacks, no explosions, no zombie-ing. The machine runs 24/7, and I play games on it, surf the net, do my household accounts, etc, and I've had it running beyond 60 days without a reboot. What does THAT say about these so-called "Critical Updates"?
