firefox and windows update
Floyd10:
Theyre gonna make mozilla products unusable with their security patches
paigeoliver:
If you are using Firefox then you don't even really NEED most of the updates. Almost all windows updates seem to essentially be internet explorer ones.

that statement says an awfull lot alot about the point ive been trying to make!
if the update service is indeed almost exclusively catered for patching their internet explorer browser why is it called Windows update?
by thier own admission,they consider internet explorer an intrinsic component of the Window.. otherwise there would be an internet explorer automatic update page, and a seperate Windows operating system update..
they clearly consider the two to be one entity..
Trimoor:
Referencing a previous question on this thread, how exactly did you "unintentionally cripple" IE?
I would like to do the same to my computer :)
DYNAGOD:
im not sure how i did it.. i wish i knew...
but i do know if your running SP2, you can go to:
control panel
add remove programs
add remove windows components (on the left side)
uncheck Internet explorer.
then remove all your file associations that point to IE and delete any shortcuts or related files.
Done!
no worky
