No, it's not a mistake. This is pretty confusing, but it's not the same file - the first one = 784 kB, the second one = 761 kB.

a few notes on whats happening with the latest stuff

ie6 modules will not be removed from the eng xp/2k3 releases this month, they will instead be removed in the march releases when we move to ap5.6, and i will create add on packs.

the new wmp11 installer (25MB) and windows live messenger v8.1 (16MB) will not be included this month, i'll add them next month (your all going to have to download full/lite releases next month because of the big changes in ap5.6, and theres no point downloading these two files twice wasting bandwidth!

wmp11 updates (KB928788 & KB929399) will not be included this month, i'm waiting til ap5.6 which will have wmp detection and therefore wont interfere with systems still on wmp10 and older

the cache cleanup utility for IE seems to be only for xp sp1 so that wont be included (that is unless ms made a typo and it is actually for xp sp2

i'll leave the .net3 lang pack til next month

i'm not going to include the Application Compatibility Toolkit because it's only useful to application developers

the windows installer clean up utility doesnt sound useful to most people and could actually be dangerous, i'm not going to include it

KB885626 i dont know whether this can be installed on systems with xp sp2 already installed, i'm waiting for confirmation from the_guy

for some reason i have KB929969 and KB873374 in my todo list so someone must have reported them sometime in the last month, no idea who it was, can't bebothered to search and find out, but KB929969 was included last month and KB873374 isnt needed, the necessary KB873374 (GDI+) related updates i remember were included at the time they were released, however the detection tool was never included because its just not necessary for most people.

the_guy, that's a miracle. at this time, ms remember of pt-br. it's there :D

so, now they just need remember of this ones:

KB927544 - just work in english or, at least, not in pt-br

KB928089

KB928939 (until now, i don't know why windows update show it also needed for Brazil... someone must think Australia is near from here)

eu font update (someone told some time ago that this one is international. maybe, but installer it's only in english)

but the most interesting thing is that wga is in english and reports in pt-br too...

PsiMoon314, you can expect that in each update from now. appears that vista didn't sell also expected and they are blaming piracy (nothing to do with system requeriments... everybody have already a vista capable machine, with drivers, etc). because of that, they will ask for wga everytime...

by the way: how did you find wga packed to download? i've just can found it already unpacked, at C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

thanks in advance

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
