    Do I need Windows updates for a PC that is not on the net?

    Are there any significant windows updates that are not security related? Windows 7 is my 3rd OS and I do not do any surfing on it. I think I have SP1 at the moment.

    Not really, sp1 has updated net framework and almost everything you need. So near all programs will work. Feel free to disable bits, auto updates, security centre, error reporting since all those services eat up memory and aren't needed by a pc not on the net.
