"Windows Update" after Oct ? legal/illegal owners

[Vorpal]

Just curiuos about the Windows Update thing, when it changes during the server upgrade (I think it is) in October.

So far all XP updates have been seperatly downloadable from Microsofts website.

Are they going to close that down? Otherwise, the point is just to make illegal owners work just a tiny bit harder to get the updates?

I can't see them closing the download site down because Network Admins absolutely have to have access to the stand alone installation files.

Are they going to protect the downloads with a serial key entry check?

... just wondering

yep

From what I understand in a while the windows updates site will be cross matching the xp keys with the M$ database to check that your key is a key listed as one made by M$ ... but who cares really as long as someone gets it we all get it in the end, someone will find a way around anything M$ does and thats only because it is like the guy that climbs the mountain ( why we ask ) answer because it was there
