Thank you for your interest in Windows Update

Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.

You need to be running a version of Internet Explorer 5 or higher in order to use Windows Update.

Download the latest version of Internet Explorer

Once Internet Explorer is installed, you can go to the Windows Update site by typing http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com into the address bar of Internet Explorer.

If you prefer to use a different Web browser, updates to Windows may be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.

Not worth loading IE to see the change...

Well, before they had a separate Office Update utility (which I also test). Maybe the two business units wanted to keep things separate. I have no inside info as to why this would have changed though. But from a customer standpoint, this was the right thing to do, IMHO.

This sucks, I can't figure out how to PREVENT certain things from downloading that I don't need.
