If you are suffering from 56k-itus, you can now have MS send you a free CD with all the windows patches, and avoid the downloads. Great for people that want to have a secure system but don't have the bandwidth to do it easily. Sorry Windows 95'ers, no luck for you.

    <span style='color:orange'>You can blame me for deleting that thread since MonsE made his first. Don't feel bad, I was blind enough to PM him about it even though I should've seen this thread beforehand. I guess when it comes to MS, MonsE just *knows* <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> </span>

    MONSE IS TEH WIN!!!

    I like what MS is doing now, they seem less like what they were before. And they ship them free of charge! Tis a VERY good deal.

    But I feel sorry for 95'ers, but I wonder why they stick to such an old windows though :/

    Dont' even begin to think this is being done out of the goodness of their collective hearts. It's done so they don't have to put up with Welchia/Blaster again.

    Not that that motive doesn't make this a good thing tho'. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Unfortunately one of the security updates provided by Microsoft screws up one of my really old games. Guess I'll have to be careful about what I download. -_-

    This is brilliant. No more 2 hours waiting to install updates after my silly formats \o/
