XP Accessory: 20MB Of Updates | |
|
||
| Time: 07:24 EST/12:24 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Julien Jay | ||
People rushing out to buy Windows XP on Thursday may be surprised by the hefty package of downloads already available for updating the brand-new operating system. Depending on the version of XP--Home for consumers or Professional for businesses--people will be assailed with 20MB or more in downloads. Some fix security holes, others resolve glitches and a few add new features. Regular updates are something consumers may have to get used to with XP, which offers more of a "push" method of delivery than the "pull" function found in earlier Windows versions. With the new OS, Microsoft for the first time has the capability of sending updates proactively to customers. | ||

| 20 MB of updates most people don't need apart from the critical ones mid you. A lot of the downloads were driver updates too - are CNet etc going to complain about those as well? |

| #3 - I don't think going to RC3 would have made a difference - the first critical update was a security patch for IE..the other downloads are as expected updates for compatibility bugs that the testers missed but early users haven't. |
