  1. This is just great! by CaptainZapp · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Time to patch my Laptop (Samsung, XP Pro legally licensed). There's only one problem with that:

    When I start Windows Update it informs me that it needs updating. Attempting to do so leads to a carped update with some error code. In short: Without the "improved" version of the software no more Windows update for me and since getting the "improved" version fails to install in the first place...

    This seems to be a known problem for which there doesn't ssem to be a fix yet. And no! Re-installing the OS is not and option since this toasts my Ubuntu partition.

    Microsoft is a company that pisses me off more and more on a daily basis. Thank you for listening.
