The Internet is sloooooooow today

If you to are noticing that the internet is a tad slow today and wondering, 'Why?', it is probably due to the fact that Microsoft have released a mega-update to fix flaws in their OS.

Work on the basis that a lot of installations of Winders have automatic updates switched on by default and you have a big bundle of computers downloading SIXTY-ONE MEGABYTES of patches and fixes. Some of these (it is not clear if you try and establish this on the Microsoft site) may not even be necessary but are included. Perhaps someone else can clear this one up for me. If I do not use Outlook or Internet Explorer, do I really need to update these or not? Why do I need a 'fix' for Windows Media Player when I use a different application entirely?
