    Windows Update is now doing a LOT more than updating

    It's not the whole article but the first 6 pgs are free and the rest cost 2 bucks but you also get the tools that hacks into what info is going to Micro$oft.

    Anyone successful updating the software with Vista?
    by renpar61
    I know it's been discussed before. Rotel says in their website not to use Windows Vista for software update. I could understand this could have been the case when Vista was first released, but now it's been a while and Vista is the standard Windows OS. Has anything changed? Did any of you ignore Rotel...
