Dear Santa Bill and Santa Ozzie
Felőlem hozhatná Bill Haley (vagy Ozzy Osbourne) is, csak a http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ -ról legyen letölthető minden decemberben az összes lokalizált változaté tárgyévi összes patch-e egy ISO file-ban.
Cherry Coke is lesz egy kartonnal.
Susan,
I have just installed WXP Pro SP2 on my newly rebuilt machine. Do you have any words of wisdom with regard to how I can make sure that I have all of the critical patches up to date without going through everything that has been released over the past 3 or 4 years? I don’t want to spend two weeks of work time installing patches.
Dear Santa Bill (or Ozzie):
I know what you'd like me to answer that with... "Buy Vista!" but the reality is that Vista isn't out for the retail marketplace yet. Now hopefully the inlaws will be over during Christmas so it will give this person an excuse to be in their home office and take the eons of time to go from XP sp2 to final patched up versions. The reality is that you haven't made it easy for the home user to take a XP sp2 machine up to full patch status for one machines. Oh sure, you've given us admins things like WSUS and what not..but for the one machines that we have to deal with, or that hopefully you'll have to deal with over your Christmas vacations with your families..... how about reconsidering once again a roll up cdrom.

What I'd really like from Santa Bill or Santa Ozzie is an official Microsoft ISO available in December of each year of "fill in the blank" supported consumer operating systems so that we as sons and daughters of folks that use us a tech support at home can do it easily, or, as in the case of the person who asked, someone trying to get one business system up to full patch state quickly.
P.S. I'll even leave cookies and milk under the tree for you.
