is it possible to do it any other way? can linux update without rebooting?
Of course there aren't. That's what happens when a hippie with a computer steals and renames a widely used OS in the university world and tries to market it for home use.
Windows has so many holes because they copied apple macintosh by looking at the software, not at the code. 😛

Well sure. If you think that linux is only a kernel and nothing else, then yes it might be a bit more secure. But then you have to treat windows as simply a kernel as well. Then you have to adjust your numbers to make up for the differences in the number of users. People have done this and discovered that Linux is actually more insecure than windows. Of course you will just say that those studies are all biased and microsoft paid them to say that and bla bla bla. And yes, all 4 of you people who actually use Linux at home...I'm sure you're all running very secure machines.

[I didn't read all of the pages for this thread so sorry if this is mentioned earlier.]
What's really getting annoying is that M$ now is embarassed to release critical updates so frequently, so they wait until they can release them in one lump. I don't remember if they stated the frequency of the releases when they issued a press release about it but, from what I've noticed, it seems to be about every 2 and 1/2 to 3 weeks. This really pisses me off because end users can be without a critical update for a couple of weeks before a patch is released.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: I wonder if people can get monetary relief via a class action for M$ having released such an insecure OS which has caused people and companies money in fixing systems that have crashed because of vunerabilities as well as losing important and valuable data.

The Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer, which addresses numerous security flaws in Internet Explorer 6, introduces bugs involving the scrollbar. After the patch is applied, the page scrolls up or down twice when the user clicks once in the empty areas of the scrollbar. Clicking on the scrollbar arrows or dragging the scrollbar thumb works correctly.

Glad to know it's not something that I messed up in my XP machine. I noticed this happening within the past few days and figured my MX duo was acting up.
