Test Updates for Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000)



Apology for the copy/paste. I am in the midst of another meeting but wanted to get this out to the public as soon as possible. The information was under embargo until just a short time ago.

Dear MVP Community,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract
We are sending you this communication to inform you that on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, Microsoft will be releasing five test updates to Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) computers. These updates are being sent in order to verify our ability to deliver and manage the updating of Windows 7 in certain scenarios in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The updates will be clearly described as a test update in Windows Update, and they will not install automatically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rationale
The updates will be offered interactively. This means that users will be notified of available updates, but they won’t install automatically. Users will need to go to the Windows Update control panel, select the updates, and manually start installation.
These updates will simply replace system files with the same version of the file currently on the system, and will not deliver new features or fixes.
