    Great software mate!
    Just a question: does it support OFFICE 2010 Professional Plus?

    Since they are essential, i'm thinking to move "Platform" & "Platform Updates" to the main categories and treated like regular updates (there KB number alphabetical order makes KB2670838 comes first)

    what do you think?

    i'm also trying to figure out a way to improve the current categorizing system which is a little bit messy and confusing to some users
    any suggestions are welcomed

    abbodi, did you said in the past you used to divide update batches into categories (depending on what type of update/hotfix it is) to make them integrate/install better? How about doing something like that for the repo?

    It's a hotfix downloader, meaning it provides all available hotfixes that been released since SP1
    Windows updates only offer important security updates and recommended updates, doesn't offer hotfixes

    It was similar to the current system, except i kept driver-type updates in separate category to be integrated last

    i'm looking for something different :D

    Quick question, anyone know if these updates KB2870165-v3 for Remote Desktop (v7 not v8/8.1) and KB2900635 for XPS Printer are the latest or have they been superseded?

    Plus after May 13, MS will not be supporting IE11 and post-rtm updates unless the user has installed KB2929437!

    I think everything it's ok, maybe changing the VM updates into hotfix area may be a too bold move in my opinion.

    This is from the changelog, I'll take a closer look on sunday :)
