Yes, and that is exactly what NT is doing :-) Metadata writes are write-though. There were lot of complains when users switched from Win2k to WinXP (or installed Win2k Service Pack), and some found that their disk operations became slower. The reason was that there was a bug in Win2k when for some disk models metadata sometimes went into disk cache instead. Of course that speed the things up, so overall performance went down when the bug was fixed :-) >... >Yes, but Windows Update doesn't update MS Word, or MS Excel, or your games, etc. >;) http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/default.aspx Or just follow the link at the Windows Update home page.
