    Can be a good tool, but it doesn't notify that there are any hotfix-files and the downloader overwrite these files.

    Thank you very much for this gem of a tool, after MS killed the autopatcher project, getting updates and storing them locally became a pain. Since I do lots of formats and reinstall of OS, I need to go through the painful process of updating over a slow connection time and time again. This utility saves me all the hassles.

    Jane, you ignorant slut!!!

    If you don't know what a product is OR is for-- don't rate it UNTIL you AT LEAST learn something about it.
    SIMPLE...otherwise, it helps NO ONE.

    Say you just built a new system...or wish to have all updates in one place...maybe to slipstream...then this is for you...

    as Windows Update will ONLY give them to you in their entirety after numerous restarts & reconnects(& system restore points)...and that is if no bug / glitch / freeze pops up along the way...

    but if you'd prefer to sit in front of your screen for many hours, babysitting the process...feel free...

    How is this different than the Windows Update Software that comes with the Operating Sytem and then is updated by MS whenever they believe it may be beneficial?

    Edited: Thank you Horsecharles for your excellent explanation. MS, of course, should have given us this explanation of it's use, and if it had done so, I would not have asked the above question in the first place.

    Because of your explanation, I have rerated this a 5 (the 3 was given in order to give it an average rating). Again, thanks.
