Default They Did It Again!

Windows XP repair disk kills automatic updates

A commonly used method for repairing Windows computers can disable the automatic installation of Microsoft updates, or patches, it was revealed this week.
Looks like the recent unauthorized update now makes XP repair useless. After repair, Windows can no longer update. Not to worry, our heroes in Redmond are working on a fix!

Thats how they plan to get everyone to switch to Vista. If you can't reinstall XP then you have to switch.
