Oh, I have no doubt that some of the other updates *do* have security patches included in them. Especially the OS X system updates themselves.
I'd go on about Keynote having nothing to do with security, or not missing the iTunes internet streaming at all, but that would probably be threadjacking.

Hmmm, I deactivated that automatic updates feature in XP Pro since I didn't feel like having things installed from Microsoft that I didn't want such as the Outlook updates. After all, I use America Online for e-mail. Anyway, I've been downloading most of the updates and have never ran into a problem so far. What was the update suppose to fix anyway Andrew?

Something about security to your computer "the person would need to have access to your computer" or something the text went... There have been a few of them lately.

There have been loads of them for ever. Almost all the updates are to plug security holes.
And really, complaining about Outlook while you use AOL? That's like, er, complaining about drinking vinegar while sipping a cup of rat poison.

I'm not complaining about Outlook while using AOL... I'm just saying I'm glad I didn't have all those updates for Outlook to download from the Windows Update site since I use AOL for e-mail. And what is wrong with AOL?

Of all the digital. Souls I have. Encountered in my travels, AOL's. Was the most... sinister.

Asking "what's so wrong with AOL?", is only slightly behind "so, what exactly was bad about the holocaust?", on the big list of "stupid questions said by stupid people".
