Jimm Allchin writes: One of the things that I have been focused on for many years is the ability to update a Windows PC with the latest software to make the system run great and help keep it secure. While automation has really always been my core dream, we had to start someplace, so back when we first launched Windows Update it was really just about having a single place to find the bits people need to keep their systems up to date. But, once at the site they still had to do everything manually. Windows XP Service Pack 2 was certainly an important milestone for Windows Update, primarily because we changed the recommended setting for the Automatic Updates functionality of Windows Update from the option that just downloaded the updates and then notified you that an update was available, to the option that automatically downloaded and installed the updates. In addition, we created a new feature in system shutdown that allowed the system to install the latest updates as a part of the shutdown process. | ||
