Microsoft will start beta testing its all-in-one Microsoft Update in mid-March, according to an e-mail to potential beta testers. Microsoft is looking for a cross-section of users familiar with not only Windows, but also Office, SQL Server, and Exchange.
Tuesday, Microsoft's chairman and chief technologist announced Microsoft Update, a consolidated update service that would blend now-separate sites and services for the company's operating systems and applications.
Microsoft Update, said the e-mail, will offer security updates for "Windows, Office, and other Microsoft applications" from one locale, and work with Automatic Update to take the patching chore off users' shoulders.
