Let me rephrase.... I have to use IE to use WindowsUpdate, the easy way
of finding/closing security holes or new drivers (although CNet's
Catchup service does a good job on most of the security stuff).
It'd be nice to be able to use whatever browser I wanted. However I
appreciate the URL and will sign up for their security bulletins
(time passes)
Oh look, I have to use Passport in order to sign up for their security
notifications online... or else sign up via email which "Requires 72
hours to Process" -- why? Why does it take 72 hours to join a mailing
