Many companies are still using windows 98, including ours. I was just
wondering what everyone was doing to automate updates so that security
patches are kept up to date. Do we really have to rely on our end users to
update their computers or is there another way of pushing updates out to
them? Is there any way in a peer to peer or must we go into domains?
