Recommended Posts

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

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 )

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
