Windows 7 Ultimate x64 + x86 + Windows 8 x64 Newport, South Wales, UK |
When did you last update your other OS
A lot of us here are dual booting but with Seven being such a great OS just wondered are you neglecting the Other OS?
Have just booted into my Vista for the first time in a while, (apart from on quick boot to check an issue, now and again ), and I realised that I had not done an update since 16th March 2009  which means over two months of outdated protection 
Will stay on Vista for an hour or two to load all the updates but was surprised how long it's been and will always treat the other OS in a dual boot as a new unpatched install in future  | My System Specs |

The last time I used Vista, I got a BSOD. I updated Vista today as well as installing the new cat drivers and I got another bloody BSOD.
The irony is that when Seven was a BSOD fest for me, Vista was rock solid stable. Now Seven is rock solid stable while Vista is crashing on me. I can't win   | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
