I'm hearing that the latest windows updates (there's only a couple new ones) will crash your computer. Anyone who uses a windows system have this happen to them?

Not sure if it's rumor or not...but I've heard some horror stories about WGA causing all sorts of problems...

Wheher crashing is one of the problems I dunno...it probalby has more to do with the fact they <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> alot of people off with WGA...so people could be giving M$ a bad name because of it...and perhaps rightfully so??? :)

p.s-This belongs in the General disscussions forum :P

Cheers :)

I have heard no such rumor; nor does my system crash because of any updates.

[edit] fixed grammatic error.

Some of the patches in august had side effects.
