HI George, that is what I imagined, I always allowed automatic updates, but the only snitch I come across. I don't want to upgrade to IE7, but it Autimatic Updates keeps trying to install 7 on my system, this is a bummer,

Hi Billy, I run a Windows 2003 Server with a network of XP Professional systems and one Vista, plus various laptops, and have always allowed Windows to automatically apply "critical" updates. Emphasis on "critical", since you will not get non-urgent updates like Explorer for example. Of course I'm tempting fate here, but in the 8-10 years I've been doing this, I've not had a problem which has prevented us from working. Many of these updates plug security holes, and in many cases I'm sure have actually prevented us from getting malicious attacks on our systems. The anti-Microsluge people will scream and shout that this is dangerous. Well - so is crossing the road!!
