If you choose not to use those buggy MS products, then the updates really don't matter. Who gives 2 shits about the latest IE bug this week, if you don't use it.... I don't worry about IE problems anymore, I don't worry about windows updates. My XP hasn't been "updated" for more than 6 months.

But then again I use Kubuntu more than windows anyway.
is MS Office that bad?

Not true. i specifically didn't d/l that one when I saw it and still get updates, now wether or not it got stuck in under another name is a different story. But I'm going to stop using the super infected pc next week when I get my vga adapter for my powerbook.

Not nearly as bad as IE/OE. But still wouldn't use it unless I had to. It's not been installed on any pc of mine for probably 2-3 years.
