There is Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. There is update, update, and update. What we need is a special external drive made just for Windows that can automatically keep our computer updated. Do you know why? It’s because we can’t win. It should be the kind of external drive that we can inject and eject from our computer. You won’t have to worry about the drive and space built into your computer when something goes wrong having an external off to the side.
There should be a slot made on the computer just for it. When we inject the drive, it should be able to update from the Microsoft page on the internet every time there is a new version of Windows. For those that don’t like update, can eject the external drive from their computer or turn off the drive to automatically go back to their old version of Windows. The old version can remain on your computer if you choose to install it again. The new version can remain on your external drive. You can run the new version only from your external drive. It can leave a shortcut to your computer. You can also save the new version to your computer altogether and delete the old. Different choices might be nice.
I think a special update drive for Windows would be a good idea because, by the time we buy a new computer, it is an old computer. There is constant update and computers become very slow. Holes get into your security patches when you don’t update. Service Packs may require more hard drive space. A lot of patches are left in the control panel. There are always hackers to worry about. Sometimes computers crash and all sorts of things can happen. An automatic update external drive would be a good idea for storing patches and updates. When the updates are old, you can delete them from your external drive or it could be deleted automatically.
Windows XP
Think about Windows XP. There are many versions of Windows XP. Windows XP Home Edition, and Windows XP Professional. Someone can get really confused. Now we have Windows Vista. Some people just can’t keep up. Some people argue and get frustrated. I think a Windows automatic update drive would be a perfect idea to save everyone some trouble. Notice that I said I think. With computers, we always run into some kind of problem and some of us can‘t get no satisfaction. What do you think? What’s your idea?
