They are reporting that Microsoft have publically released Windows Update v6, now dubbed Microsoft Update. Users on Windows 2000, 2003 Server and XP have access to the web site after downloading an ActiveX update. The new update site supports both Windows and Office 2003 updates in one central location making it easier for customers to get a hold of the latest patches and updates available to Microsoft software.
Once at the website, you"ll have to agree to download some new software which may take a couple of minutes, but once done you"ll see the new version of the Windows Update website - although there don"t seem to be any new updates on there at the moment. Windows XP users will have to have at least Service Pack 1 to use the site.
