I love what you bring to the site and the helpful hand you are always ready to lend - but the majority of people here don't use Macs. In my tenure as a mac owner - there were updates on average of one a month. Definately less than windows but there were security holes there too. There are a number of folks here on the list that for whatever reason need to use their computer for both - so Steve's advice is best heeded here. Rarely, do updates within an individual release of windows break features (now major releases - sure - it happens) - but if they do, it's a problem melco is going to have to address anyway - as patches and updates are a normal part of the PC Lifecycle. There's also the availabilty to do a rollback to prior to the update being installed if something REALLY goes wrong. As Design Shop and AOS are designed to run on WINDOWS, not OSX, it's a question that is important to ask and answer. Again - unless you NEVER and I mean NEVER connect to the net, you must run updates - period to remain secure. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
