Windows Update Site No More?
This will probably break as new tomorrow, but in reading my Lockergnome newsletter tonight, it seems that Microsoft is retiring the Web version of Windows Update. The reason? Apparently the auto-download of updates negates the need for the Web-based version. Personally, I don't agree - there have been several times I've manually gone to the update site on a relatives computer, only to find several device driver updates that were never pushed down. Only critical updates are pushed down to the clients, so there are often updates that can only be retrieved manually. The last computer I was at didn't even have the Windows XP SP1 pushed down! I imagine we'll know more tomorrow, and Lockergnome might have got fed the wrong info.
