Dotan, my laptop dual-boots with XP. I have that set up to notify me of updates, but not install. I do recall seeing, however, that you can elect to download updates automatically and install later, though I've never tried that, since I like to read the description of the updates before letting them loose :-) Anne
That is almost impossible in Israel. Software pirates are rampage here, such that WGA assumes everything is pirate. I do believe that it's area-specific, and with just reason. In any case, on my current Dell I run a cracked XP in a VMWare VM because my legal XP disk won't validate and the cracked one works fine! I've overcome the moral reasons as I HAVE a legal licence. Automatic updates are the only way to update a cracked XP. As for my (past) professor, I will suggest to him non-automatic updates.
