Microsoft to test Windows 7’s WUAU service

windows7Beginning February 24, Microsoft will be deploying up to five dummy updates for users of the Windows 7 Build 7000 beta. The packages contain identical replacements for current system files as the experiment is simply an effort to test Windows 7’s update infrastructure.

Windows 7 Beta users will be notified that new updates are available beginning February 24 through Windows Update. Even if the user has Windows Update configured for automatic update – these test updates will not install automatically. Users will need to manually install the test updates through Windows Update.

    MiracleManS This just leads me to believe they're MUCH, much closer to releasing Win 7 than anyone could imagine.

    Its nice to see them testing out this feature before release too.
