ya' know?...
I'm really beginning to question the logic behind Windows Update.
I'm running XP Pro...& I really don't want to use the automatic
function...so I do an 'Express Install'...and...
....(aside from the fact that they now have to install new *install*
software, every doggone time, before you can even download & install the
updates)...
in my list are SP2 updates for MS Office. I'm thinkin'...wait a minute...I
have SP3 on my machine...why do they want to update SP2, for MS
Office...???...&...why would anyone want to bust into my PC & mess w/ my
stupid Word documents anyway...???
but I figure they know what they're doing...so I let 'er rip.
I come out of the shower...& the whole thing has come to a grinding stop
because it wants to download & install Internet Explorer 8. So...I'm not
sure if I want v8...not knowing if it's geared toward XP or Vista...I choose
NO...
....& after the downloads resume & install...
....it tells me in did NOT install (in addition to IE8) the doggone MS Office
suite SP2 patch [~!@#$%^&*()!!*!].
it's almost not worth the effort anymore...let these hackers bust into my
system & take what they want...'cause this whole protection thing is getting
too complicated.
