Trying out the new Windows Update v6 (now called "Microsoft Update").  Cool that they've finally integrated Office Update and other products (SQL Server for instance).

A few observations, though:

  • It took several ActiveX installs, plus closing and restarting IE for it to actually load fully.
  • Windows Update has been slooow for me lately (before this version even). Dunno why, but it still is. 
        Update: same slowness on sparkling fresh XPSP2 and SBS 2003 installs.  It ain't me.
  • Still a ton of French Spell Checker updates?? (2 for Office, 1 for Visio, 1 for Project) I saw this a lot with Office Update too. I have no French anything on any machines, so what's the deal?.

About time to reboot...
