    that like keeps a list of all updates for windows that tells you what the update does, and updates any time there are windows updates.

    Have you tried simply looking at the windows update page from Microsoft? It gives pretty detailed descriptions of all the downloads available...

    I do yeah. My OCZ Core 128GB should be arriving today so I'll be trying it on that too.

    Along with SteadyState it should run like sh*t off a shovel :)

    Ok then :p

    Does anyone know as to the whereabouts I can get the latest Windows 7 Build? Also, does it have issues of running program and so on and so forth?

    as this version has not been officially released, this forum is not the place to discuss such.

    moderators around here are likely to bite your head off, be warned ;)

    I am safe. Still using faithful old ME. I don't have to worry about updates. Apparently, none are available as it's not necessary. ME was unburstable.

    No problems here. What's the fuss about?

    Have I missed something :confused:
