Hang on - wasn't one of the selling points of IE8 the fact that it is MORE SECURE?!

MS, "Security through obscurity"

A flawed security model imho.

How big do you think the update is?

My XP harddrive failed on me a few months back and had to do a reinstall...and I have one of the ORIGINAL OEM XP disks

You should have made a new slipstreamed install disk with nLite way back when you still had all the SPs on your HD.
