    And I'll bet that even with all 52 of those hot fixes, it still has security holes big enough to drive the planet jupiter through... with room to spare.

    This could be the start of a new craze, unofficial OS service packs.

    No need to wait for the official service packs, hell by the time Microsoft get XP SP2 out, we could be on the unofficial SP4.:)
