The guy has no ideas what he is talking about I see the same attitude on this forum in relation to these type of hotfixes (also with fear of sp1 not being final)...lots and lots of cowards
I think maybe 'cowards' is not the right word. I see this fearful attitude only with people have either not mastered the skill-set of doing system installs and/or backups, or those who do small time business servicing or something like that. So for the first category it is a fear based in inexperience, but for the second category I don't see why those people even bother with these things because if a company network/workstations runs, why mess with it or even consider such updates as these?
Somebody's "dandruff" is up I'm begining to wander if there is not more to this....I think it out of character for Zuko or WZor not to put the latest and greatest out there. Perhaps there is some pressure not to "stray" for now from someone they listen to...
I installed 600+ hotfixes on windows 7 and didn't suffer any devastating consequences wzor are talking bs. I then installed the leaked sp1, still not DOOMED, and even solors post sp2 hotfixes installed fine...
main issue is, its bigger chance of issues, since at least LDR hotfixes are not fully tested. However i doubt certain hotfix will crash more then 1% of computers in any case, since they do get "some" testing in any case
I remember the same warning with vista's hotfixes, never had a issue with those either, guess you really have to be unlucky.
yesh i assume so, even if they are 2 more problem is, there is no describtion of hotfix so we can only assume
You want to wait two years for the hotfixes to make their way onto your machine via the next SP, be my guest...I will add them now, thank you
Personally, I add them. I been doing this since SoLoR had the updates on SkyDrive and I kept a mirror of them. But that was not what I was talking about. I was talking about my feeling that the only people who would be worried about updates like these, that I could imagine, would be people considering deploying them in a business environment, in which case if it scares them they better stay away from them. That's all
I plan on making some videos on how this is done, maybe in a couple weeks will be ready You cant actually slipstream it, what you do is preinstall the program in sysprep mode and then capture the image with imagex...This takes a bit of time, only worth it if you are going to install to many other PC's or just want to learn how OEM's do it
yes im interested in to how to slipstream .net 4.0 (+hotfixes) as well... i guess i could do some research, but... im lazy
