to keep their copy of Windows up-to-date.

I tried WINDIZUPDATE using Firefox 1.0.7.0 . My Computer is up-to-date , which I had verified already , the " normal " way
Was a very simple install of the plugin. Advised of 2 driver updates, but opted not to as everything in that area is working fine. Will look into the file versions though, and if they are newer I may install them. I doubt that they are.
Amazing that this is available.
Very interesting Bob ! A slap in the face to Windows Update and Microsoft in general I think, isn’t it ?
I love “good freeware” and info. Thanks ! ;D
