c9Microsoft is giving away a free Security Updates CD, and you should all go order a copy. Even ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
simplisticton, despite being primarily Linux now. Security updates will help protect your computer.
Then you should go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and check for even newer updates. And then keep doing it.
Anyway, I do have a point. A fun tech-news website, The Register, has a report all about the security CD and various other things, which has this snippet in it:
I'm sure you all see where I'm going here: I've solved the "should we give wedding guests a gift" problem!

When someone buys a new computer from Dell or IBM or whomever, one of these CDs should be included with the rest of the packaging. If their computer is sent in for repairs, the returned machine should be accompanied by the latest Microsoft Security Update CD. Security pros should carry copies of these CDs with them everywhere, and if someone even asks us to help them, we should force one of those CDs on them. At weddings, forget cameras and pins and pens - guests should be given Microsoft Security Update CDs as momentos. Along with our tax refund checks from the IRS, the government should include Microsoft Security Update CDs.
I'm sure you all see where I'm going here: I've solved the "should we give wedding guests a gift" problem!

You could give them out, with a little bit of glue, and some cork coasters, and people could make their own Cam & Vinny wedding coaster ;)
