If you have not done so you need to run Windows Update on your Windows XP systems as the latest critical updates plug quite a few security holes. I updated last night on my Sony U and it applied 11 different security patches. An odd thing I noticed after the update, disk space is tight on my Sony U due to some things I am working on that eat a lot of space and before the update was applied my disk drive reported 1.6 GB of free space. Immediately after the reboot that was required by the application of the update my disk drive reported over 3.2 GB of free space. It seems that the update deleted 1.6 GB of files somewhere in the system. Has anyone else noticed this?
