   @Matt -

   There’s a reason why I said DON’T install the .NET patches, eh?

   I don’t know how to install the others. Have you tried re-booting, going into Windows Update and installing them again?

   guess that “blog” from that italian site about windows 8 is a bunch of bull.

   and Microsoft has yet to figure out what NT version Windows 8 will be. Will Win8 be “NT 6.2″ or “NT 7.0″?

   and who needs Windows 8 anyway when Windows 7 is pretty much a stable and reliable OS.

   “The slides say Windows 8 will start itself by detecting when you approach the PC and log you on by automatically identifying your face. Sure. Beam me up, Scotty. Don’t forget to shave.”

   Unless you’re black, of course.
