My experience is the same, Microsoft has never shut me out of their update process even though every computer I've had in the house has run OEM versions of WIndows. In fact they've all had "Windows Update" installed and running from the get-go. What you also find in OEM versions is a manufacturer's update process which attends to all the OEM specific stuff that out-of-the-box Windows doesn't include. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
