Dan Goldstein was confused by my statement that "We mostly boot into
Vista [for our dual-boot computer] only to apply Windows updates and
download new virus/antispyware/firewall updates...": <<What updates
and downloads *can't* be downloaded into Win XP? We use it for
everything right now -- MS updates, daily virus definitions, spyware
updates, etc.>>

My bad for not being clear: We boot Vista so we can update Vista and
the associated software. We rarely boot Vista to actually use it for
anything other than to ensure that Vista itself is up to date.
Needless to say, we keep XP patched to the gills every time we boot XP.
