Oh and another thing....
It would be really nice if there was a 'landing page' for all the post XP sp2 patches in one easy to click place.. I'm going to try out Windows Catalog and see if it will help. The other day when I brought up a Dell Optiplex it needed 29 patches.... There are 70 critical patches I can put in a basket here but there are a lot of multi-language ones I don't need.... too bad I can't sort by language. Hey you know... on the outside screen I said “English“ yet I get all the .Net service packs and patches in all the languages...what's up with that? Weird.
Grrrr...and now the pop up blocker built into XP sp2 caused the download to fail so I have to start the selection process all over. I wish Microsoft's own web sites would not do that. Place nice with your own security controls, please?
There we go... there's the downloads starting... have to see if I can point MU/WU to this cdrom once I've burned it in.
