Does this CD also include things such as Direct-X 9.0b and Windows Media Player 9? Or is it just security updates?
March 2, 2004 at 9:17 am #48993shifterMemberQuote:quote:Originally posted by shifterThe Windows Security Update CD will be shipped to you free of charge. This CD includes Microsoft critical updates released through October 2003 and information to help you protect your PC. In addition, you will also receive a free antivirus and firewall trial software CD.
As far as I know it only includes what is listed here. Until someone actually recieves one, we will not know for sure. I’ll let you know in 2-4 weeks. 🙂

You’d think that with Bill Gates signing contracts with our Government once every 8 months we’d have a little better. (We did get official Student Packs consisting of MS Windows XP, Office and XP and Studio for the grand price of Lm10.50 – about $35 😀 )
Well, perhaps when he opens up Microsofts New Offices here, sometime in the next 5years we’ll have a bit more luck.
March 3, 2004 at 7:08 am #48984FreddieMemberI do not support pirated software, but I am sure if the CD does not work with pirated copies, a pirated copy of the CD will be widely available, if not already available. My Hong Kong friends think I am insane for paying for software…
March 3, 2004 at 7:28 am #48999DangerBoyMemberUh, its not pirating if its already free genius. Perhaps you meant to say a cracked version would be available?
Isn’t talking about pirating against the oh so sacred forum policy? Whatever.
This stuff ain’t new anyway, the Security Updates are all on Microsoft’s Windows Update site. You can download em there, or get them on CD. Big freakin deal.
Oh, and dude your Hong Kong friends are right, you are insane.
March 3, 2004 at 7:32 am #48992shifterMemberOk man lets take it easy. And Dangerboy is right, discussions about cracked and pirated versions do not belong on this forum. There are other places willing to discuss such things.
Don’t make me take off my belt. 😉

DB – The man said nothing wrong. You obvisiouly don’t realize that IF you have a pirated version of Windows, you cannot use Windows Update (or some say). Because of that, someone in the world will make copies of this CD available for those users. Nothing said was against any rules yet so take it down a notch.Also, you won’t make good company here with your tone of attitude.
March 3, 2004 at 8:13 pm #48983FreddieMemberSorry, I will not post anything more about anything not legal. If you scroll up, you can read that I pay for all of my software…

I’ll pay you to NOT take it off. 😛
