How many of you update your Windows regularly ?

Hi Digitians

How many of you use Windows Automatic Updates or Auto Patcher or WSUS for updating your XP/2000/2003 Workstations and Servers ?

I do always coz I hv Genuine Windows XP
I hv enabled "Automatic Updates" option

I update regularly, but my regularly is once or twice a month. I use windows only when I want to browse my nokia 7610 phone as I do not know how to do that in linux. So when I do boot into windows I invariably end up leaving my pc on windows for 15-30 minutes to update windows, antivirus and sometimes firewall. What a waste.

Are you using Windows 98/ME ?

I never update my windows. The min you install Windows update another few update follows which is waste of bandwidth.

from the day the UL900 connection got activated, i "Turned Automatic Updates ON" (before that i had selected "Notify...option" for bsnl Home250)
as i sometimes get Updates frm HP too (for HP s/w, a bit heavy updates).

I use Autopatcher...coz i frequently reinstall Windows...so its kinda stupid to download updates again and again from the begining...

Are you aware of Ryan's Update Pack and nLite?

Nokia 7610 may work on most modern GNU/Linux distros.try gnokii on Debian or Ubuntu .also is symbian oggplay for song management.

i update regularly w/o fail, but have disabled automatic updates. i do it manually, as n when they r released.

 

[shantanu]

I do update my windows

 

[alsiladka]

Yes I know....but never tried them...I am happy with my autopatcher..

Using Ryan's Packs is a better option. I have notices that Autopatcher includes even those Hotfixes which have been replaced by newer hotfixes, as mentioned in Ryan's Changelog.

Installing all the Hotfixes included in Autopatcher is not very useful or beneficial.

*ORIGINAL* XP user here...I have enabled the "Automatic Update" option on my OS!

 

[hemant_mathur]

Automatic updates turned on.

 

[Kiran.dks]

I just love keeping Automatic Updates 'ON'. It's a feel good factor for me!

 

[Choto Cheeta]
