Invites send out by Microsoft for Update Service
Beta Coordinator for Microsoft,Eric Brodish, has sent out invites to testers asking them to participate in a new Service Pack for Microsoft Update v6. The beta is scheduled to start in the beginning of next year and will concentrate on improving services to Microsoft Update.
Microsoft Update combines Windows and Office updates to a central point and when a user activates the service it replaces Windows Update. It is not yet the default service linked from Internet Explorer or Automatic Updates from Windows XP.
