Re: List of latest Windows XP patches released?
Do you want to include POSReady updates? No. Just standard patches that were released. I do not think that such a list exist. Most people here (and at MSFN) likely use the POSReady updates. There is really no reason not to do so (unless we are talking about a specialized, critical system). You coul...

Re: MSFN.org state
Why don't you zoom the page ? It is not about the size. It is usually about the font colour (lack of contrast) and sometimes about the font type itself (too thin / too blurry). Nevertheless, the current reiteration is still much better than before thanks to bigger, darker and thicker fonts. As for ...

IPB has really turned to crap in the last couple of years. I don't know why MSFN, WinCert and others continue to use it.

I think you need to add them to HKCU. HKCU added during the Windows setup will become HKU once the system has been installed.

The reason for limiting width is that one line of text should contain 50-75 characters to be easy to read.
If you absolutely want to remove the limit you'd have to change this line:

You're basically asking for update rollups for different system components.
