Windows Update - Updated to version 6

Published on July 5, 2005 By Thomas Thomassen In Personal Computing

I use Firefox as my main browser and therefor set IE's startup to windowsupdate.microsoft.com. I was just about to check something in IE and just so happend to notice that the Windows Update screen had changed ever so slightly, and that the adressbar was update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=no

I did a quick google to see if I could get any info of what's changed, but with no real luck.

(So I suppose there wasn't much useful info her, but I'm one of them people who go "Oh look, the sky is blue!")

Ahh grasshopper, these are grand questions indeed!
What you are seeing is now Microsoft Update vs the old Windows Update.
The new update page not only updates Windows, but also provides a one stop source to update MS Office products as well.

Nice to have then finally integrate their other products into their update page.

Ah, ok. That's nice. All thought, I don't use MS Office any more. (Or MS Works or whatever came with the computer.) Word drives me silly when I try to put more than a coulpe of images in a page. So I've moved to OpenOffice.

Do you know if it will feature more products? Like Visual Studio?
