Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4. -

Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before! -

Question
capr
hey, I have an external fantom drive which is basically a WD cavalier enclosed in an external esata case. it's plugged in through esata and works well.... problem is after 20 minutes windows turns the disk off which is fine by me but for some reason it disappears from explorer. this is very inconvenient because you have to turn the drive off and back on or plug it in and unplug it to get it to spin up and show up in explorer again.
from previous experience i know that it's good to turn off external drives like this to preserve their life and your power but they usually stay in explorer and turn back on when i click on them.... not sure why this drive isn't doing it.
I have gone to advanced power management settings and know that the 20 minutes is in fact correct and would like to keep it at 20 minutes, but don't see anything other option for this.
any 3ed party software that can help out with this problem? or is it a windows/driver setting that i am missing. btw it's vista 32bit
thanks,
RK
