Windows Live Update? Surely not…

August 26th, 2007

In an effort to try and find some more information on Windows Live Events and Calendar, I looked through the Spaces help file, to see if that’s been updated with the information soon to hit the press… when I found this.

I personally think it’s a typo, and that Windows Update will not become Windows Live Update. I ran this by one of the guys at LiveSide to see what they thought - they thought pretty much the same as me. Could be something, most likely not. For a start, Windows Update is a computer based service, although runs as an online service. Now that Windows Vista has been released, the website version of Windows Update has now been ported to a Control Panel application, so it’s very doubtful that this is anything in-particular.

But just thought I’d bring it to light anyway :)

    Are any Windows Live “products” (as in software, although I suppose it could mean web-based stuff as well) actually available for Windows 98 as that help file implies? And if there was a Windows Live Update, as a service separate from Windows Update that only served to act as an updater for programs in the Windows Live Suite (which is currently done via Microsoft Update), would it actually be available on or for Windows 98? Surely a typo.

    That’s what we thought. Interesting though… :)
