| Although Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment, Dunn 
| provided Computerworld with a copy of an e-mail he said "Windows Secrets" had 
| received from Microsoft's online partner support. In the message, Microsoft 
| only hinted at a reason for the changes: "7.0.6000.381 is a consumer-only 
| release that addresses some issues after .374 was released. It will not be 
| available via WSUS [Windows Server Update Services]."

| "The only altered files that have been reported to date are 18 small 
| executables used by WU itself. Microsoft is patching these files silently, 
| even if auto-updates have been disabled on a particular PC."
