What the hell happened to my auto check to find what my computer needs and
then giving me the chance to download it?? What's this update catalog crap
with a stupid search field??? I hope no one got a raise for that joke! What
moron decided that was a better idea? "Let'smake people work more to get
their computers updated...that will make them happier." The stupidity is
astounding.

Even better...it's the link on the main page that is broken sending you to
the Catalog for Microsoft updates instead of launching the process. You know
your software needs help when you have to make a way for people to search for
specific updates. Still frustrated with this mess.

Umm, sounds like you hit windows catalog instead of microsoft update. If you
have run "windows update" recently, it installs the new "microsoft update"
that will be higher on the list than the windows update will be. The new and
improved update site now searches for updates for windows as well as other
microsoft products such as their image suites and office applications. Once
again, don't click on the icon for windows catalog. Use the link to
microsoft update.
Or you can just go to update.microsoft.com
Best of luck :-)
