Microsoft Heard My Computer Crying Out for SP3

by Jason Bean on April 7th, 2008

Weird! Was just messing around the Microsoft Downloads website and clicked on the Windows Update website.

Let it do a custom search and guess what it suggested?

That seems weird that I just got prompted with this after blogging about wondering where it went in my previous post. Is My Computer reading my posts via Windows Live Writer and pinging the Microsoft Mother Ship? [Insert eerie background music]

Now I regularly ping the update servers and request and approve just about any update that comes down. Did this just get updated since my last post? Do you get different updates made available to you if you go directly to the site and don’t rely on your installed Windows Update mechanism?

Download is almost done. Wish me luck with the upgrade/install.

UPDATE: MAN! This is taking forever!
