ur correct , but i think the V6 is a Fix or whatever from SP2 downloads as its near its End of downloading from the V5 update  so i think M$$$ wanna eradicate that problem by maybe issueing another WUS  page

yeah well version 5 works fine for me and it does seem they could spend their time on updating other things that might actually need it. i mean 5 has only been out for a while!
oh and demadred i think it is a bit unnessasary to keep posting the neowin news here. they have a thread for every piece of news they make just post your opinion there.

saw that but thanks anyways

Get your facts right, view-source works in IE too.

I think Windows Update is one of the most important things for Microsoft to keep their products safe. From what i saw on another (Dutch) news site, it seems they want to offer more non-Microsoft updates trough Windows Update. Like updates for your hardware drivers (like already is done for certain drivers) and maybe even updates for normal non-Microsoft applications. I think that's a nice idea, to get all the updates you need in one place with just a few clicks.

Yes, V5 and XP SP2 aren't that old yet, but i think Windows Update can still be improved. And keep in mind that the team who works on Windows Update doesn't work on most other Microsoft pojects. Those other projects are still worked on too, just by other people.

um.. i only use IE, i only ever will use IE or IE based browsers, i am particularly against firefox though, firefox sucks entirely because it is made by aol. i prefer as little aol as possible on my computer.

I purposely opened IE to try it because I did think it was only for Firefox, and it didn't work. I got 'Page cannot be displayed'. I do it now, and it works. It's very probable that someone would come to the conclusion that it does not work in IE if it doesn't when he tries it. It was not a 'fact' stuck in my mind. Also, if the "l33t" bit got you annoyed, let me add on that it was sarcastic.

Firefox is NOT 'AOL'. Mozilla was funded by Netscape which is owned by AOL. Big difference.

sure.. whatever you want to beleive, but i know mozilla is part of netscape and therefore aol.
else, would you mind explaining why firefox identifies itself as netscape, please?
