OSs should be useable and they are. It's just not safe (wise) to connect them to the Internet without protection. As for notification, both Mdk and MS send patch updates.

Not arrogant and certainly not l33t (whatever it means). And taking a jab at Stephen's sig is not blasting you or anyone else. He can take it, so cowboy up. Troll on, troller. Brandon
