    To keep stuff easy and simple for all our users, we're not going to recommend any update not listed in the update list of windows update. Simply, windows update checks your pc specs for the updates you need dear users, then you can verify these updates with the ones on the list to check if they are safe.. :rolleyes:

    Don't go installing all updates listed as some of them might not be need in your case depending on your PC specs and OS type (x86 or x64).. :eek:


    @steinom

    Thanks for your compliment.. appreciated.. ;)

    Sincerely.. :cool:

    Except for Update # 12 :rolleyes:

    Americans/Europeans can safely avoid #12 unless they are planning on traveling to Japan and want to watch HDTV through Media Center via ISDB Tuner. Even then, it appears more of an Hot-Fix than Critical Update.

    You misunderstood me Mr. Jinje.. :p

    I meant.. check for updates via Windows Update in Windows 7, copy the list, then verify it in the center.. don't go installing all updates in the list.. some are not needed based on your pc specs such as the tuner update.. :eek:

    Sincerely :)

    About KB947821-v2:

    The "installation" is quite long, it took several minutes to complete. At the end, the update will create a log file in \windows\logs\cbs folder called CheckSUR.log.

    This is my log file:


    =================================
    Checking System Update Readiness.
    Binary Version 6.1.7600.20532

    I'm going to bed now, tomorrow morning have to go to work! :D

    First, I should say good job on keeping up to date. Was wondering if we could track a few more things that might plausibly be helpful down the line.

    1) Could we note which are "Important Updates" and which are "Optional Updates" Some people choose to avoid Optional Updates (like Silverlight)

    2) Could we note when an update supersedes another update, for instance this week Update #13 replaces Update #4.

    On number #4 maybe could say something like "Superseded by Update # 13 - KB975364" Likewise #13 could say. "Supersedes Update # 4 - KB973874" or something similar. Nothing complicated, just a simple reminder.

    Figured if we started tracking this now, it would be a lot easier then to try and start later. As always I leave the final decision up to you.

    Imho it's better to cancel from the list the update supersedes, it's totally useless and it can create confusion between users.... it's not logic to download an "old" update, especially in an optics of future direct integration of the updates in the dvd.

    Totally agree!;)
