You mean…service packs?

[anonymars]

No, "Microsoft Update" is what it was once called (see e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/...)

Umm, yeah…I was going to let this go but “Microsoft Update” is a later, more annoying though perhaps necessary turn of events.

What context are you responding to?

> It would be nice if microsoft had windows update for .net, visual c++, office, windows, edge ... just all their software in one updater...

Can't believe that at one point Windows could do updates through a browser interface.

I mean we've gone full circle and are now deploying browser interfaces as full blown applications to get around the bit where you give a browser system access, but still.
