Microsoft Update. Worth it?

<< < (2/2)

AHA! Found the post I was talking about. Good thing I remember who was involved in the discussion, and the existence of ZillaSearch :)

Have in mind that Microsoft Update and Windows Update are two different things, although they probably share many traits. Never had a problem with Windows Update in any case, apart from being offered the odd update that is already installed, or software that is not installed at the computer (like Windows Search 4.0). If CPU usage jumps to 100% with Microsoft Update, I can always revert to Windows Update, I guess.

cmpm:
after reverting to windows update
open your microsoft product
help-update will take you to the update page
click the check for microsoft updates button
and that will get your microsoft update back if you want it

i've had the same problem
when microsoft update just scans endlessly
i switched to windows update
ran it
and then switched back and it worked
