I don't have to worry about all those mickey mouse XP patches. Been on 2kPro for over a year now. No problems
....except when that big worm outbreak was hitting everyone worldwide with 3k+ emails a day. After patching that I was good to go. In fact, I have had the "updates available" icon in my tray for 8 months now and never clicked it heh. no problems.
I prolly should click it tho before I get proven stupid and catch something sinister.
