A blog which tries to demystify computer security, point out the half-truths and misinformation which floats around about this subject and hopefully reduce the hype created by semi-informed people. It also has some useful tips from time to time.
I was updating a VM with WinXP today and it downloaded the “Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847)”, which weight in at a whopping 238MB! An update! WTF? As a comparison: the Java 6 JRE is around 15MB.

Funny you should post this.
ReplyDeleteI was updating the images we use for our systems at work this week and noticed that the download and install seemed to take a loooong time to complete!
It amazed me and didn't seem to matter how old/new the systems were that I was doing the imaging on.
It's a whopper! I'll have to go back and look up the related KB on it to see just what all is going on and why it seems to be a full-body organ transplant rather than a Lasic eye correction procedure.
I feel the pain!
Cheers!
