you should send them your suggestion ;-)
Obviously updates - for security or maintenance issues are part of every
OS.
I thought the more important issue was the statement by Balmer a week or
so ago that security updates for IE were only going to happen for WinXP
- SP2 versions - pretty much obsoleting any other version of Windows. I
expected to hear a lot of repercussions on that issue but it remains a
sleeper.
