Compulsory to install Win updates for a system that'll never be connected to the Net or exposed to any nasties?
Hi,I was just wondering what is the official (or unofficial!) stance regarding installing Windows updates on a XP system that will never be connected to the Internet?I realise that I can potentially introduce nasties via a disc, flash drive, etc. But what if I was never going to introduce anything alien to this particular PC?I also realise that I could be forfeiting other functionality & benefits that Service Packs & Optional updates sometimes provide.Thanks for any knowledgeable comments.

Yet, some updates are not necessarily security related, but fix problems in the O/S.
