Star Microsoft Requests Shutdown of Autopatcher Project
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 29th Aug 2007 21:57 UTC, submitted by Kroc
Microsoft The AutoPatcher project has been asked by Microsoft to stop operations. "Today we received an e-mail from Microsoft, requesting the immediate take-down of the download page, which of course means that AutoPatcher is probably history. As much as we disagree, we can do very little, and although the download page is merely a collection of mirrors, we took the download page down. We would like to thank you for your support. For the past 4 years, it has been a blast. Unfortunately, it seems like it's the end of AutoPatcher as we know it."

Windows update has a few quirks but its a well run service. They even turn it on for you when the operating system is installed, so its no hassle at all.

And that's what Windows Update is, one gigant SPYWARE,TROJAN, and VIRUS, all-in-one.

You seem to have a lot of anxiety.
Maybe its time to go outside and get some fresh air.
