Free MS update CD

[zaax]

For those not aware you can now get windows security updates on a cd FREE from Microsoft. It's current to Oct of 2003 and will make it easier to rebuild your system when and if needed. Faster than trying to download them over a dialup.

It works fine for me. I have just ordered one to save me downloading all the updates again with my 56k.

did i read this right , it is only upto date to oct 2003 , cant see it being a lot of use then :confused:
seeing as microsoft are updating so often :(

[zoombini]

Bythe time we get it, all the updates will be out of date & unsupported..lol

[zoombini]

Well I actually got mine today & looking it is full of updates for XP,2K,98/98SE till February2004.

Also an extra disk with a years free trial of Etrust EZ Armor LE from CA which I assume is the AV/Firewall product.

However, being connected to the web & using autoupdates I am assuming that I am covered beyond that on my XP PC, but the 98SE one could most likely use it.

Just ordered mine :D

I allways feel sorry for dial up users. When I have to re-install a 98 computer it takes a good 20mins on the broadband. I shudder to think of how long it would take on dail up !!!!

[dilli-theclaw]

I got mine this morning - Although my pc is up to date with updates - I think I'll try the EZ stuff... :)

[zoombini]

Guess what I'm going to be doing tonight...

the update for march is here i got mine this morning by post plus a cd for free anti virus protection for a year

[zoombini]

check the CD out, its not quite for a whole year, AFAIKR its only til september.. let us know if you find out any difference.

I tried installing it on 98SE & it wanted to upgrade IE to 6, Directx9, MEdiaplayer9 etc so I stopped it before it got too far.
I dont want those on my system, hogging up too much of my resources so I will have to look at individual security updates later instead.

[zoombini]

Just checked & its til 2/1/2005

[theman]

yes the anti virus is for a year it is the on the second cd in the wallet

11 months..
