Microsoft tests new patch program
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Tuesday began testing Microsoft Update, which it says will help users keep up with the latest versions of Windows, Office and other programs.
The free program, which is slated to be in final form later this year, lets users of the Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems download all updates automatically or manually choose which patches to get.
In a February speech at the RSA Conference 2005, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates had promised that a beta version of the program would launch this month.
