    Makes me glad I always change the settings in WMP to stop it updating my files! Although I normally use Winamp.

    Erm ...... me.

    The patches (32-bit and 64-bit) were available when the public beta release of Win7 was released because I downloaded them before the actual Win7 beta ...... he said with a smug grin. .

    Yeah, I meant to point out that this isn't new information: the patches were available at public release, and I patched my copy fine.

    Anyone NOT reading release notes for something like this is asking for trouble in my eyes.

    The patches were available from the get go, but as far as I'm aware they were only published to the Windows Update service at some point yesterday. Prior to that, the update had to be downloaded and installed manually.

    Certainly not on the box I built on Friday - Windows Update advised that there were updates so I installed them. This was a 32 bit system, so I couldn't confirm 64 bit setup (as I haven't gotten around to building one yet)

    Ah, I must have missed it then.

    On my 64-bit build this particular update only showed up last night.

    Not all updates show up to everyone at the same time. I think it depends on the severity I has been set to. Critical updates all go out together, optionsal or recomended ones are often spread out to prevent massive peaks in bandwidth. XP Sp3 is a prime example.

    I didn't need to read the notes - I noticed the word "beta"

    That said, darn it's good.

    This update also solves the problem of DVR-MS files not playing in media centre.

    Anyone trusting their entire MP3 collection to a beta OS without having a full backup somewhere is asking for trouble, in my eyes
