I'm holding steady for now. I held the last batch for 3 weeks before installing them all. I install .NET, MS Office and Security Essentials Security Definitions as a matter of course and wait for the all clear on the others. The November batch, I installed all but one and still had to reset some of my security options afterwards as you can see the details in a previous post.

3 weeks it is then mate :salute:

MS has one very huge customer, the US government. The government uses MS/IE quite extensively. Many of my inter-company programs I use are IE based. MS is embedded quite deeply.

Well, parts of the government have already abandoned them.

I think the sky is falling.
:o

Isn't there a conspiracy thread some where this needs moved to?
Or do I earn a red warning thingy for stating the truth?
:har:

So I am doing this post to get downloading again thingy... Saying hi to all the good peeps

It was in the tech blogs that MS tries to opush W10-code into W7 by simply declaring them as recommended or even security updates, all that sniffware that W7 does not really benefit from anyway. DO NOT TRUST MS PATCH DESCRIPTIONS ANYMORE. They re-relase the unwanted stuff and W10-code injections into W7 under different name, again and again and again, hoping that sooner or later it flies into your system while staying below your radar. Same is true for W10, several of its critical updates - what an euphemism! - simply get re-released time and again, under different names. The very critically welcomed Diagnostic Tool seems to have been given up by MS - until you learn that the same thing still is being released just days ago, just under totally different name. Also, the ammount of time needed to safeguard your W7 installation against this dirt spilled out by MS, is hilarious by now. I do not care for updating my W7 anymore, if you have not noticed it, Fubar2Niner. I described earlier what I did instead. Its the better and more economic solution. Even better would be to maintain TWO separated systems, one for gaming under W7 -AND ONLY THAT -, the other for evertyhign else, using a different OS. Not updating W7 anymore is not ideal, its just the lesser of two evils. Everybody doing like me needs to practice discipline to indeed not use that Windows installation for anythign more than just as a launching platform for his games. Not a single email. No surfing. No nothing. Leave all that for the other installation, the non-Windows OS. - Im doing fine the way I run it since 3 weeks. Windows Updates I do not care for anymore. I would have more trust in some dubious pirateware site from Russia or Romania, than in Microsoft's updates. It seems, so the blogs write, that half or more of W7 "updates" by now do not improve the OS of software anymore, but are busy with preparing the migration to W10 by force, or outreading data for MS that before were not outread by W7 at all - all goodies implemented by W10 that later MS decided to bring into W7 as well. It's all a total mess by now.

Must be janitorial as all government offices I deal with continue to work with MS/IE.

Last I knew NASA and the US Navy were two parts of the US Government.

Holy cow! How long has the attachments button been up there beside the smiley button when you post on Subsim? Great job Neal!

I can assure you the Navy also uses MS/IE for day to day operations.
