Windows Updates

Noreen · Aug 12, 2009, 11:16:33

Anyone got any Updates yet?

Simon · Aug 12, 2009, 11:21:10

Nope.

Rik · Aug 12, 2009, 11:21:39

Me neither.

Noreen · Aug 12, 2009, 11:25:44

Strange, members of the American forum that I belong to have theirs and there's a lot of downloads (11 for XP and 9 for Vista).

Rik · Aug 12, 2009, 11:26:24

Very odd. Perhaps MS are hitting back at the EU.

somanyholes · Aug 12, 2009, 11:39:29

i have many updates ... fun fun

Ray · Aug 12, 2009, 11:42:45

Had mine for XP this morning.

Rik · Aug 12, 2009, 11:43:11

Secunia PSI is signalling the updates are needed. I'll have another go...

Rik · Aug 12, 2009, 11:46:41

I've got 14 coming down now...

Nod32 was complaining when I booted up this morning that the system was out of date.

Rik · Aug 12, 2009, 11:49:56

It is on the netbook, Ray

Gary · Aug 12, 2009, 11:54:10

15mb last night

Rik · Aug 12, 2009, 11:59:38

It makes you wonder why they did the out of schedule patch, doesn't it.

Glenn · Aug 12, 2009, 12:06:32

Windows 7 had one this morning when I shut it down

Noreen · Aug 12, 2009, 12:09:23

Just checked at the Update site and got 8 for Vista. I have it set to inform me but it didn't.

Rik · Aug 12, 2009, 12:11:45

It was having a bad hair day.

talos · Aug 12, 2009, 13:17:32

XP updates this morning, dont know how many, it just downloaded and installed, I'm sure I had it set to just inform

Must check that

quandam · Aug 12, 2009, 14:33:52

I had 10 (XP)

zappaDPJ · Aug 12, 2009, 15:24:08

I had nine updates last night and there are another three pending (vista).

Rik · Aug 12, 2009, 15:26:14

There's certainly going to be a spike in the bandwidth today.

Glenn · Aug 13, 2009, 07:31:47

My Windows 7 RC laptop had another update to install this morning as I turned it off

I was wondering why they were out on a Wednesday and not a Tuesday. Mine were ready to download yesterday morning.

Rik · Aug 13, 2009, 10:37:46

It's because the Tuesday timing is for America, so it's quite late here.

6PM is when they are released UK time on Tuesday evening Rik, if you do a manual update just after say 6:10PM you will get them all

Rik · Aug 14, 2009, 08:25:11

Yup, 1pm EST/EDT.

I thought Win7 was so perfect it wouldn't need updates

Rik · Aug 14, 2009, 10:33:17

It will have had them all before it's officially released, Bob.

talos · Aug 14, 2009, 11:08:23

HURUMPFF!

Glenn · Aug 14, 2009, 11:19:54

MS said that Vista would never need to be updated, I think all the service packs and patches now take twice the space of the original install

Rik · Aug 14, 2009, 11:25:46

MS say a lot of things, most of them aren't true.

Glenn · Aug 14, 2009, 11:55:01

'Your copy will be complete in 15 seconds' - 10 minutes later you are still waiting

Rik · Aug 14, 2009, 12:07:13

Mind you, I still think 'Keyboard error, hit any key to continue' is the classic.
