Analyst ReportWindows Update Corporate Site Goes Live
The new Windows Update Corporate Web site (http://corporate.windowsupdate.microsoft.com) is a centralized portal for downloading Microsoft software and driver updates. Targeted at IT support personnel responsible for updating desktops, the site makes it substantially easier to locate and download security fixes, management and deployment tools, hotfixes and service packs, free applications (e.g., Media Player, Internet Explorer, etc.), and other recommended updates for Windows 9x, NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 Professional. The site also includes certified device drivers from over 100 different manufacturers.
