Microsoft will begin pushing Web Explorer (IE) 8 to business users via Windows Server Update Companies (WSUS) on August 25, based on a June 29 posting on the IE Weblog.Microsoft currently began pushing IE 8 to customers through Windows Update and Automated Update in April.If WSUS admins aren;t ready/willing for IE 8 to put in across PCs within their organizations, they must turn off auto-approve for your IE rollup, the IE crew is advising.Microsoft shared the newest on its IE eight rollout programs the day before Mozilla made on the market for download the ultimate version of Firefox 3.five.Speaking of automated downloading,
Windows 7 Product Key, I;ve been finding a couple of concerns this week about Vista Company Pack (SP) 2 and Microsoft;s strategies for pushing it to people. Though Microsoft attempted to obscure didn;t tout widely its programs for Vista SP2 distribution, the business did, the fact is,
Windows 7 Ultimate Key, start pushing SP2 through Windows Update a previously this month.A spokesperson clarified on June 29 the company;s rollout options for Vista SP2, which Microsoft released to production in the finish of April:“Windows Vista SP2 was launched to Windows Update last month - May 26th. A throttled release,
Windows 7 Ultimate Key, it started off being delivered automatically in June to customers who set their Windows Update configuration to receive updates automatically. Different from Windows XP, it;s not an ‘Automated Update,; but still part of the Windows Update. Of course, if consumers want it now, they can go to the Download Center and set up it manually.”The TechARP enthusiast site claims Microsoft decided against providing PC makers with the right to distribute SP2 until after
Windows 7 was generally offered (October 22). I asked Microsoft if this were true and was told by a spokesperson that Microsoft “does not disclose details of our agreements with OEMs.”TechARP said Microsoft decided to delay the Vista SP2;s distribution by OEMs because “Microsoft does not want SP2 to interfere with a successful implementation and launch of
Windows 7 by their OEM partners.”If you;re curious what;s in Vista SP2, here;s my feature list from some months ago.Update (July 1): Microsoft released on June 30 Vista SP2 in all remaining languages (beyond the initially launched English,
Windows 7 Ultimate, French, German,
Office 2010 Key, Spanish and Japanese) and produced them offered on its download site.
