Subject Delta Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Are these officially ratified updates, or of the untested, 'use at your own risk' type?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Are these officially ratified updates, or of the untested, 'use at your own risk' type?? Legit, Microsoft Windows 7 updates.....what would the point be of posting something "untested" or "fake?" If you want the updates, you'll have to search the net, as the mods on here have an issue people posting links to windows updates that don't point to "windowsupdate.com" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Actually, a lot of updates are released to the Microsoft sites untested, that you have to contact support for, that is what I meant by untested and 'use at your own risk'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZzzzzzZZZZZ Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yes they seem to be wroking well. One major improvement you will notice is internet explorer and windows media player loading time. It's really fast now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svnO.o Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well I'm downloading it now. After it completes and I verify the files I'll try installing it and see if I notice any improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code.kliu.org Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 And some of these, namely the ones that carry the 16399 build number, are supposedly test updates and not actual updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saasn Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Downloaded and installed them last night. It seems that IE and Windows Media player load allot quicker. Now IE loads up just as quick, or even quicker then Google chrome does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svnO.o Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah I verified the files I downloaded (made sure they had digital signatures) and installed. No problems here. Don't notice that much of a difference but IE8 does load pretty fast (almost instantly on my machine), though it's hard for me to tell if IE8 was that fast previously as I don't use IE8 much. Also for anyone worried, the updates create restore points so if anything goes wrong you can always just boot into safe mode and use a restore point if necessary (have done it previously in Windows 7 when I shut off a computer mid-update).

BoDEAN Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 It will be best to wait. Not really.............. I have the updates, can someone please confirm whether these are considered suitable for use in a non-test environment? They are fine to use, they are from the same people that make your OS.......Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
