windows updates?

dojharris · 12-02-2007, 07:05 PM

Hi.... Microsoft is a big company and I always here bad things about them, which is understandable for a big company.
Just come across this article and this program (below) for updating windows. Just would like to know what people think and is there a free, safe, legal way to update windows without using the official Microsoft update page

Pure nonsense . . There is no reason not to use Windows Update Site unless your Operating system is not legit.

OK, what about when you do a fresh reinstall and microsoft put the old version of updates on your system and the latest version
Like netframe work 2 and 3
Also somthing like windows media player 6 i think i seen
When you do a fresh reinstall now there a somthing like 80 updates

The .net updates are optional . . and for most folks, not needed . . Media Player 11 is also optional, but most should upgrade to it.

Neither of these is automatic . . you can decide if you want them or not.

The 80 or so updates are mostly security related and would be included in the HS sites you mentioned.

I did fresh install Vista home premium 32 bit, 10 updates. Then put on my Office 2007 Ultimate had 55 updates. I think must use Windows and Office for Updates. If you dont you could have some serious problems. Set updates for 3am Auto. You'll be sleeping. I only trust updates from the program manufacturer.
