Windows Update

Can anyone explain to me why Microsoft are releasing new updates for Windows 2K on a daily basis? And whether any of these will address the 'stupid pop-up messages' issue or the 'random Outlook crash' problem?
At least I know why my disk is filling up. Windows is eating it.

The Horrible Truth

Once I had a London Transport photocard. But heaven knows where it is. Believe me I have looked.
So, looks like a new one. Have even located some ID photos.
Aaaaaargh.
They will not make me a new photocard. They will lock me up and throw away the key.
Safer to pay fare daily, I think ...
