Update for Windows 7 KB3035583
"Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3035583)" showed up in
Windows Update on my PC. When I selected "More Information", I get a Microsoft Web page with the title "Update enables additional capabilities for Windows Update notifications in Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 SP1". However, there is no description of what those "additional capabilities" are or how they might benefit me. Does anyone know what this is about? Is this something that really benefits Microsoft and not me (as I saw with another recent update that I rejected)? -- David E. Ross Why do we tolerate political leaders who spend more time belittling hungry children than they do trying to fix the problem of hunger? http://mazon.org/ |

If you search online on that KB article number, you find many articles (most are copies of the same author's article) mentioning the complete lack of any description. As per the commonly referenced article, there is suspicion that it adds features needed for when users update to the free update to Windows 10. For now, I refuse to install that update until Microsoft provides more information about the update. Most times I right-click and select to hide an update so I'm not nuisanced about it in later "new updates" notifications. I'll leave this one shown for maybe a month. If no details are forthcoming from Microsoft about this update, and since it is an optional update, I'll just hide it. When visiting their "more info" page, be sure to always use the feedback form at the bottom to voice your vote on a poor description or other complaint about their article. |

And it appears MDL has gone underground, with threads containing "you have to be registered to read this". So that means a lot of hits in search engines are no longer going to be available. So if someone over in MDL figures something out, it's not going to get to the outside world without someone like in the above page, copy & pasting it. Paul |

I never quite understood the continuos update idea. What other product can someone ship with flaws in it that have to be corrected daily? |

Maybe even for "Hello World" :-) To tell the truth, if you start an Android project (at least in Eclipse), you automatically get a Hello world program ready to run - and ready to modify, of course - so it is more likely to work than if you[1] had coded it from scratch.
