Re: WIndows Updates

The description of the update is on the right side of the screen.

"Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."

Re: WIndows Updates

that is not a description, all it says is that it is an obligation update

And have you clicked on the "More Information" link, at the bottom R/H side
of the window?

What do expect from a page intended for the average user ?
If you want more information look up the kb article like this:

[url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971644[/url]

And that won't tell you much more. If you want a detailed, in-depth, technical
explanation of what the software does you are looking in the wrong place.

Re: WIndows Updates

I do not need i-depth or technical detail, but I want the same kind of
information that we had before when we double-clicked on the name of the
update, so that I could decide if it is worth installing or not, but what
they have right now is worthless
