Comment: I am beginning to wonder if my Windows update is somehow broken. There haven't been any critical updates for about 3 weeks. Isn't that little bit strange? Some time ago I remember finding new critical updates every week. I have SP1 succesfully installed. I would like to know if there really havent been any critical updates for some time now. Jack

Reply: (edit)Thats right! As I understand it, Microsoft decided that releasing updates every few days was getting to be a headache for all the IT guys out there, so they've gone to a once-a-month plan. Windows XP is also getting to be very mature and polished, so I'm inclined to think that they don't really need as many updates as often any more. MSI K7N2-Delta
