I have never seen any option list to run the packs, but if that russian moron didn't start harassing (read: killing) innocent people on very shady grounds maybe the dev didn't feel the need to start his protest. But I am stopping with this discussion here (it's not relevant to the topic of this thread and), i always kept the alternative option for updating the ancient win 7 in it's own dedicated thread.
I see no point in continuing the conversation about who lives where and what happens around. I am a computer user, I don't care about physical world. What matters currently, is how can I get Windows 7 systems up-to-date with official and/or open source tools, without having to re-download everything on each system and waiting a few hours until it all applies.
Catch-22. A great story & book (also film). Also a contrary situation we all must face on occasion. The fastest answer is "money". A "poop" boat load of it to M$ or secondary market businesses specializing & charging an arm & a leg to provide what you are describing. OR you could become educated & skilled in coding & the software intricacies of M$ & Win7 updates. I know, NOT you. Next choice, for free, but with some education & skill development, you go somewhere like My Digital Life. All is provided for free, not exactly opensource or 100% "Kosher" but works if you listen, learn & apply. Your ask of 100% free, 100% according to M$ "rules" & with someone else using their knowledge, skill & time to do it for you is NOT happening. Maybe a dream for you but a nightmare for everyone else. My suggestion: Zorin OS. Also my eventual choice. Or add it to your Xmas & birthday wish list. Thanks for asking; now please stop. ;>))
