    Have it here ready to install but I think I'll try it on a work PC first to see what changes it makes.

    I think I'll download that in college tomorrow. Anyone got any detailed information about what it actually does?

    I think if my next year programming courses don't impose windows specific software on me I will nuke my windoze partition and go native.

    I think if it keeps raining, I might get myself an umbrella.

    I got it through Windows Update, which uses a pre-installer to find out what you need. The pre-installer is a half-meg, and my download was about 3-4 megs. Far as I can see, it just incorporates previous patches (which you won't need if you're patched up) and adds a couple of fresh ones. Nothing odd yet anyway.
