M$ shipping free Windows Update CDs, Get yours NOW!!

[rohangc]

Microsoft has just decided to ship free Windows update CDs to whoever asks for them. The CD contains all updates and patches for all operating systems starting from Windows 98 all the way to Windows XP. The problem is that the CD contains updates released until October 2003. You have to download and install all other updates released subsequently.
This is great news for all the Windows 9x users who don't have the updates downloaded and archived. Looks like Microsoft will finally pull the plug on these OSs.

Order your free CD here. (http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp)

hmm... i haven't updated my windows 2k because the latest service packs last i saw ended up corrupting 3dsMAX files.

i think this may be fixed, but screw microsoft. i don't want their government candy (pick the quote! it's coool!)

[edit]

apart from my cynicism (i'm tired :)), it's good news :D

Heheh! October 2003 and it's now nearly May 2004
Hmm - That leaves about 79meg of critical security
patches to download, what's their point? :D
