Just wondering what >do they find needs updating at this stage? thanks god there are updates... more updated, and better stable system. in theory, there will always be security updates, since it's an evolving system (internet, new files, etc etc). if you mean that the system is totally stable now, you are right... it's a bulletproof system, I can say, the best for work. you can't say this for vista and 7... -- http://shop-for-computer.com - Best Pc Deals, Refurbished Deals http://shop-for-clothes.com - Shoes, Handbags, Shirts, Coats http://shop-for-car.com - Huge Car Deals, Auto Parts
