Seems all the updates keep fixing the same old problems, do they even fix them? LOL Remote code execution, escalation of priviliges... go ms!

Since we have to run our own numerous security programs, do we really need all these "fixes"?

If we keep updating, won't XP end up being as big as Vista?

Well to be honest, I dont even bother with updates. Some updates can break stuff, while some can fix stuff, so its a double edged sword. With basic protection such as a NAT firewall, virus scanner, and common sense, a PC, even not up to date according to MS should not suffer from any security related issues. Common sense includes stuff like not using IE, or falling for phishing attacks, etc. I install the latest service pack and that's as far as I go. Now if I were to put my PC directly online, yes it would be a danger, but so is putting a fully updated PC, since eventually some other security hole will be discovered and may be exploited befure an update is made.

And the fact that I use win2k may even put me at an advantage since most flaws are targeted at XP. (though some affect core components that both XP and 2k have)
