Default What To Do When Updates and Vista Don't Mix and Generate Errors

| obsolete due to Windows Update. But at the same time, Windows Update is by

| circumstances, updates delivered via the service and Windows Vista will not
| mix, and generate a variety of issues.

The PR brigade will try to hide it (folks like George Ou and Ed Bott). The
Leaping Baboon will just decide to trash Linux instead of fixing his own
problems.

Windows Update update screws updating

| Earlier this year, Microsoft pushed out what is being termed a 'stealth
| update' to Windows Update. Normally, users are asked via the Update system
| what new patches, security fixes and the like to install and are prompted to
| install and reboot. However, this fix - which was to the Update system
| itself - was a stealth push from Microsoft, and installed under the radar.

Coincidence? WGA Failures Followed Windows Update 381
,----[ Quote ]
| One plausible scenario: Windows PCs running Windows Update version
| 7.0.6000.374 (or earlier) failed to activate/validate against a WGA service
| updated for version 7.0.6000.381. Microsoft had attributed the WGA failure to
| early release of a system update, which could fit this scenario. I haven't
| set up a new Vista PC recently. But if I rightly remember, activation is a
| process that occurs before updating.
