I personally like XP a LOT and think it has far fewer problems than lower operating systems. I admit I don't use automatic updating on ANYthing, including AV or trojan protection programming. I manually check each and every day when I want to do it. I do not like "multi-tasking" by an auto-updater going on when I am doing something else.
How do you mean auto-updating wiped out a hard drive? There would be a swelling of news in all the trade ezines if that were occurring. Most here would/should be doing regular backups, I do one every six hours, and while it would be a pain in the butt, if I had to restore, I'd restore.
