Actually, first you need to be brave to do the monthly WAU, boot and hope it comes back up At my former employer they'd first run the updates on a testbed, see how it responds, then push out an image of what they want us to have.......just 15000 machines could go belly up. As a matter of rule i have it download, but set the eclectic, where the antispyware and OE parts are blocked. Killed my machine twice....which is now in hog heaven since last trusted re-image.

Errata: Just saw on a dutch news-site that a total of 21 holes for Windows+Office combined are attempted to be plugged

Though my desk is solid wood, i forgot to touch it prior to running the WAU and selecting the pieces i wanted. Low and behold after boot, wireless mouse, keyboard, mediapad would nolonger talk to my machine, then the firewall popped up asking approval for the WGA process load (which i will not permanently approve), and i could not.....hit the boot button again and again eventually getting that screen to allow selection of a previous valid config, keyboard/mouse still dead....digging out hardwired keyboard/mouse....so here i am again, pre WAU June 06.....i'll read the news and see what surfaces in MSFT c.r.a.p. and what fixes and workarounds are required, which MSFT will fix with July 'even bigger mega' update.

Signed Peeee-oooo'd

Welcome to the dark side! Imagine the power to be able to royally tick off such a large part of humanity! Over and over no less.

Truth is one of the main reasons the Dark One ended up where they did is so all the drool could drain into the nearby sound.

Nice job Dave! lol
See what you started now......the distaste of Microsoft again. lol
Hang in there everyone only 29 more days until the next update.

At my funeral I want everyone to say that I was the one who cussed The Most Cussed One faster, better and farther than anyone else. Then for sure there will be a smile on my face as they close the lid on my casket.
