XP currently comes with service pack 1a already installed. Which leaves you with, last time I checked, bout 12 updates to do.
That depends entirely on where you buy the machine. Not all pre-installers put the service packs on, and if you go to the store and buy XP in the retail box it is STILL unpatched, an it contains no notices of any patches or service packs. Because of this, XP (and Win2k) have done more damage to the internet and inflicted more costs on users than any other software. Yet nary a warning on the box. You will be infected in 15 minutes. Smoking takes 40 years to kill you, yet EVERY PACK has a warning. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
