Hmm, ok. So you should never have anything open?
Automatic updates has the option to have it download and install the
updates in the background, while you work.
Still, I suppose never using the system would improve the stability.
Also, once this hits Window Updates (this targetted at the people
saying: read the relase notes), how many are going to?
The answer is not: 'Well they should do!!!'
For that matter, how many are even going to realise that it's a service
pack?
