Even Vista works with Dwarf Fortress, so you're probably safe.

I never download upgrades for windows unless it forces me to, so I should be safe.

The World Without Knifebear — A much safer world indeed.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Going to stick with Service Pack 2 till it forces me to upgrade. So far I've only been reminded that it's out.

Why would you want your computer to be full of security holes?

Sure, there's a small chance an update will break something, but a much larger chance it won't, and most of them are for known security problems that are a really good idea to fix.

Knowing Windows, he's probably not updated to avoid security holes.

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

I've got SP3 (I needed it for Tweak as Windows wouldn't let me install the latest NET framework without SP3 which just so happened to be released on that day). It started out super laggy until I did several defragments with JKDefrag. There's still a lower performance output I think... makes me wonder if it was worthwhile for Tweak...

I hate it when something requires something else to run and you're not sure what that something else will do to your computer.
