Test Windows Updates for Windows 7 BETA (Build 7000) coming!
Thanks Corrine over at Security Garden!
The Windows Team is preparing to release security updates for the Windows 7 BETA released in January. Here are some details about the update:
Dear MVP Community,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract
We are sending you this communication to inform you that on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, Microsoft will be releasing five test updates to Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) computers. These updates are being sent in order to verify our ability to deliver and manage the updating of Windows 7 in certain scenarios in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The updates will be clearly described as a test update in Windows Update, and they will not install automatically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rationale
The updates will be offered interactively. This means that users will be notified of available updates, but they won’t install automatically. Users will need to go to the Windows Update control panel, select the updates, and manually start installation.
These updates will simply replace system files with the same version of the file currently on the system, and will not deliver new features or fixes.
