Comments on: Microsoft takes a patch breather

Last month, a dozen updates. This month, none. One analyst calls Redmond's restraint "a good sign."

Wait until April 12th deadline

I bet MS will release a slew of "critical" updates, in an attempt to force everyone to to install SP2.

I have managed thus far to prevent my machines from being infected with DRM and I sorely resent that I will not be given a choice. I don't believe I should have to ask MS or anyone else for permission to enjoy media I have already paid for or have my computer do it without my consent.

Not making to move the SP2 either

It messes up the majority of my games when I install it. Ill just keep my firewall up to date and be fine.

Regular security updates

Six critical updates in a month is alot. I'm appalled they felt it
was necessary.

Windows

Microsoft may be on a break, but it can't last long! As long as
the effective file system core is the indefensible registry, this
worm and virus loop is infinite! That is really all there is to it!
