Well apart from possible optimisations between 1.9 and 1.11 (if there are any), it's also the consideration that for most devices future drivers won't be Windows 7 or Windows 8 specific. This isn't an issue at the moment, but it's possible that if a driver is written with 1.11 in mind, that you need 1.11 for it to function properly on Windows 7 (hence the reason of its availability in the first place).
I will have to think about this one further and either do some testing with them included on a variety of laptops or cut them out and add them at a later time
I am going to download the update package from hotfix2.cesidian.info Does the download list include superseded updates ?Also does it include updates that are included in sp1.Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit with sp1
Repo updated. Office 2010 repo will follow. I first have to investgate those files. Thanks pretty much to PointZero.
As the only change for 05 September is the new KB2506143, people can use the updated 03 Sep uninstaller I uploaded this morning as it already includes this change.
For people who still don't know the following point. KB2506143 can only be installed when the prerequisite .NET 4 or .NET 4.5 is installed first.

I agree with RickSteele about leaving them in (I haven't experienced any problems). But since others do have problems, I think everyone will understand if you remove them. By the way, I've installed the latest official 12.8 AMD video driver but since my card is old (a 4850), the Catalyst driver version shown as being used is 12.6.
