The autopatcher CD is 10.00 if you live in the United States, but you can go to their site and find the updates and stuff and download them for free

Here is the link

Auto Patcher Website

Yeah, would have been nice to make my CD's free... but, well... I don't have the extra money that Microsoft has laying around. :/

Those lame regional Microsoft subsidaries, I am more than sure they will charge for those CDs when they come out internationally, they charged me like US$20 for a Trial version CD (AND shipping not included)

US is the country where everybody get the freebies :(

Well the purpose for those 2 CDs are quite different really, your AutoPatcher is for power users who want patches AND tweaks (which was included with AutoPatcher)

But for the Windows Security Update CDs, they're for all the other computer users (especially the ones with dial up connections) who never update their copy of OS and antivirus software, to get to know what security is and why it's important to keep your PC secure.

So I don't think the two CDs are compariable, imagine giving out the CDs that make changes to the users OS (tweaks) that they can never revert back if they don't work or they simply don't like, that would more be like an annoyance to those users... (But a good way on earning huge $$ on support calls :p )

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
