From: "Geo" 

some were 7 months old too.

Why can't they create one rollup patch for everything after the last
service pack? I mean this is getting ridiculous. Did you know that for
W2Ksp4 there are now 66 post SP4 patches? There are now 14 post SP2 patches
for XP (the secure SP2 version of XP that was going to eliminate sooooo
many security issues)

Please note, I'm not picking on MS for the number of patches, everything
that's popular has lots of patches, I am however picking on them for their
lack of respect for system administrators and how they are almost forcing
us to use windows update instead of a service pack/rollup strategy where we
can easily store the patches for future use after they discontinue
supporting a product.

And before anyone tells me NT4 is obsolete, if it were truly obsolete it
wouldn't need to be protected by copyright anymore.
