i wonder what they were thinking...

i think they were thinking...

"lets help out dialup users who can't download all these updates as easy as others can..."

i think it is cool.

until AP puts out CD's and will ship them to whoever orders them, this thing and AP are in two different categories.

Well, not really, cause this isn't shipping yet. ;) And soon as the site is up, we will be offering that (I've already got most of it set up). :D Don't worry, we won't letcha down! :)

Just for any who want to know, I compiled a list of exactly what's in the Windows Update ISO Beta. I also included what's in the AutoPatcher XP 4.1. So you can compare what's in each. ;)

i for one haven't followed your program this much, and i congratulate you on it's popularity. but i'm curious; how many of the updates in your program are pre-release updates received through microsoft support?

Just wanted to know, I have the betaplace CD, looking over your comparisions, its hard to read btw, is autopatcher better?

Well, here's my personal opinion. The Windows Update ISO is more like a Service Pack with a few extras. The AutoPatcher has everything that has come out for XPSP1. I believe that you'd get more use out of the AutoPatcher (and that's not just cause it's mine... lol). The comparison pretty much shows what's in each... and if you go through, there is about 5 times more updates/patches in the AutoPatcher than in the ISO.

Edit - Here's the comparison up close:

WU ISO Beta - Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Critical Updates (05)
AP XP 4.1   - Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Critical Updates (27)

WU ISO Beta - Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Recommended Updates (01) 
AP XP 4.1   - Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Recommended Updates (18)

WU ISO Beta - Microsoft Windows 2000 Pre-SP4 Patches - Critical Updates (01)
AP XP 4.1   - Microsoft Windows 2000 Pre-SP4 Patches - Critical Updates (00)

WU ISO Beta - Microsoft Internet Explorer Patches (05)
AP XP 4.1   - Microsoft Internet Explorer Patches (05)

WU ISO Beta - Microsoft Outlook Express Patches (01) 
AP XP 4.1   - Microsoft Outlook Express Patches (03) 

WU ISO Beta - Bonus Features (00)
AP XP 4.1   - Bonus Features (10)

WU ISO Beta - Registry Tweaks (00)
AP XP 4.1   - Registry Tweaks (53)

That's not exactly a fair comparison with the critical updates, the SUCD contains Q826939, which is a rollup of about 22 hotfixes. Granted, its one less critical update than the AP and recommended updates still don't compare, but its not as one sided as your chart makes it seem, but then this is a "Security Update CD," and by having all of the C.U. except the most recent ones, it does what its designed to do pretty well, which is just convienently install all the security updates

Well, the AP contains Q826939 as well... so I was tryin' to be truthful in what I wrote. If you download the full comparisons you can see in detail (all the updates are listed). I do agree though that this is good for what it's made for (never said it wasn't). This was just to show people who wanted to know what the diff was between them. :)

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
