I Tried Updating A Clean Install Of Windows Vista RTM With The 45 Security
Related Updates, I Did Not Even Attempt To Use The Hack To Get Service Pack
One On There (The 45 Security Related Updates Took So Long That I Almost
Wanted To Rip My Eye Balls Out of My Head, Just Sitting There, and Staring
At The Non-Progressing Computer Screen), That I Just Plain Removed Windows
Vista RTM, And Installed Microsoft Windows Server 2008 RTM, Just FYI. P.S.
This Was A Non-Virtual-Machine Install, Also Just FYI.
