As someone who works with POS Ready 2009 a lot (I write Point of Sale Software), the catch with this idea is that many (a great many) of the components in normal XP just don't exist in POSReady.
SO you may, or may not get updates for some parts of your OS - because Microsoft will not be writing updates for the rest.
I think self preservation has got us as a species a long way, it also is the best mechanism currently available for keeping the roads as safe as they are. I don't see any reason to change this just because the 'gizmo' that does it changes.
Once you start having 20 cars each trying to work out what combination of movements results in the least casualties - they will all probably just stop and turn their engines off.
because if we were made of anti-matter, we could have called it matter and we would be asking the same question of the newly named anti-matter (that used to be matter).
Interestingly for me - the penalties for what they are doing seem far worse than for what we are 'meant' to believe they are doing.
One of the big downsides for huge penalties for trivial things - is people will end up doing non-trivial but lesser penalty crimes to protect themselves.

I suspect you don't understand what 'pending restart' means in the context of updates.
So - my system has installed KB2982791 and is pending a restart.
How on earth do I remove it now, before restarting a system that may never restart ?
Can we visit their website?
Yes... but many of the security flaws patched in the past have been in that 'stuff' you mention.

No more bizarre than naming something an atom, then dividing it.
.. just like the Christians renamed 'creation' to Intelligent Design, maybe it is time to rename 'evolution' to something else.
Note - that just like the Christians renamed their's to 'sound' more scientific, we have to rename Evolution to sound more 'religious'.
Maybe "God and Nature's Excellent Adventure" or something.
Suggestions anyone ?
Personal whinging seems to be out of place here on slashdot.
We could fill a whole site with what Telstra Australia gets wrong :)
Does CASA actually look after low altitude private airspace ?
People need to be careful putting pictures on their Linked In account and on their Facebook etc accounts.
Google image search will quickly identify you on all the sites you use the same picture on.
Are you sure all of these people have perfectly good reasons ?
Absolutely sure ?
Will anyone think of the owls.
Two of them bought their seats

One is a religious nutter
One is a gun nutter
One is a sports nutter

Why let the search for truth get in the way of a good lynching.
Someone needs to write a RAID 0 style encrypted 'driver' that stores your data striped on Google Drive, Skydrive and Dropbox (and what ever else).
... another way of saying shiny screen.
No thanks.
... physicists celebrate mass.
Well - the actual original post is a solution looking for a problem isn't it ?
Google glasses - looking for some problems to solve ?
Detects syntax errors in any code of any computer language you look at on screen.
Worth it ?
Can it even do that ?
So you have to be paid to think you are doing nothing useful to be classified as skilled ?
