Comments on: Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Automatic Updates – Microsoft’s confusing terminology and Network Access Protection (NAP) http://4sysops.com/archives/windows-update-microsoft-update-automatic-updates-microsoft%e2%80%99s-confusing-terminology-and-network-access-protection-nap/ For Windows Administrators Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:37:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Michael http://4sysops.com/archives/windows-update-microsoft-update-automatic-updates-microsoft%e2%80%99s-confusing-terminology-and-network-access-protection-nap/comment-page-1/#comment-23933 Michael Fri, 14 Sep 2007 17:27:52 +0000 http://4sysops.com/archives/windows-update-microsoft-update-automatic-updates-microsoft%e2%80%99s-confusing-terminology-and-network-access-protection-nap/#comment-23933 I think it is okay to rename a service if the new name fits better to the extended functionality. However, “Microsoft Update” is a bit misleading because it only allows you to update a couple of Microsoft products. I wished MS had just one central update service and let me choose what products I want to update this way. And thanks for the compliments. :) I think it is okay to rename a service if the new name fits better to the extended functionality.

An opt-in popup that takes you to the WU applet would suffice for the home/small-businesses that use "Windows Update" on XP and new Vista users... MS: KISS! PS: Thank you for your continued coverage, I've grown to look forward to your articles. Kudos on the new site layout.
