    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
    With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

    If an update does not pertain to what you have, don't get it. I despise that messenger so i removed it and avoid the updates for it. Just review what the updates does before accepting.............btw, moving to softwareworld. B)

    A bit similar to when people go to the windows update site. They seem to think they need to download and install every update just because its there does not mean you need it.

    Although for most its not their fault if they dont know. Microsoft should be a little more descriptive.

    So far as Microsoft security updates then I would say "yes" you definitely need them. Do not ask for details such as why because, IMO, many pertain to the recent slew of holes and imbedded flaws riddled in XP, windows media player, outlook and internet explorer. So unless you wish to become more susceptible to internet attacks than the majority of us are then I would just leave well enough alone and learn that Microsoft updates come in three different flavors:

    -critical updates (these you need and should download for sure, IMO)

    -windows updates (pick and choose from this group because there is alot of worthless crap in here)

    -driver updates (good to download for yuks and giggles however you will often find better at the manufacturer's site)


    If viewing them gets on your nerves that badly then there is a tweak that will remove that portion from the "add or remove programs" applet.

    Thanks for that input Izagaia.

    Yes, I must say that critical updates are a must.
