Terrible

This thing is absolutely terrible. Half the point of having the ability for
the computer to be recognized and have microsoft tell you what is available
is that it will give you everything that you could possibly need and then
some. Part of that is that you do not always know what is available until
the old version of MS Update shows you that there is a possible additional
update. The fact that you now have to search for something that you might
not know is out there is insanity. This update site was perfect and now is
another thing that Microsoft has screwed up

Pardon, but what are you talking about?
Windows/Microsoft Update = http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Windows Update Catalog = http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx

Bye,
Freudi

I agree with you a 100%. With that catalog thing you get all the foreign
language patches tangle in your updates. This service is one of the worst we
ever had to put up with, and for the guy who ansdwer with the url for the old
windows update, how long do you thing it is going to work until someone at MS
decides to pull the plug thinking that the catalog thing is better. Please MS
get ride of the catalog thing and give us back the old windows update and
live us alone. We have patching to do.

Agreed. Since nobody in this discussion has disclosed the OS involved
my guess would be that you are using one which is still supported... ; )
