*You* fix the problem. Windows Update is the old version of Update. MSFT
Update released on June 6, 2007. They don't showcase or advertise it well.
It has a better improved BITS--translation updates install faster and
without many of the glitches of the old Windows Update you keep trying to
use by default. Why Vista didn't update to MSFT Update is a great
question. When I asked the IE team the other day in a chat, I got a
ridiculous but typical reply lol "we have our reasons." A lot of children
work at Redmond.
