The Real Question everyone should be asking is . . . How many of these Updates / Patches Will Screw-up your computers?

Answer : M$ is shooting to attain a 25% Factor.

Try a Simple experiment . . . Swap a Hard-Drive containing a Linux OS from one computer to another of a DIFFERENT Make Model. Start up that Computer.

Try the same exact thing with a Hard-Drive containing a Windows OS.

Let us know what results you achieve !

Running games in a emulator on Linux isn't going to work well with some of the intensive games most play on Windows. And major motherboard changes with either OS can be problem-matic, more so on Linux platforms, but my question to Zippy is why would you need to change mainboards every two years? That is the only thing that can cause major headaches. And even at that it doesn't always mean you need to regen your system.

As to this thread though I too wonder if any of these updates are going to pooch your system, my guess would be some will get screwed and most won't but if you're the one will that suck.
