Ditch IE and Still Update Windows

Windiz Update

Despite the retarded haxx0r name, this website legitimately redistributes Windows XP updates without using the IE-only Windows Update website. Yours truly took it upon himself to be a guinea pig in the endeavour, as I was initially skeptical of this website just like any of you would be. However, after a hojillion spyware and virus scans, I can only conclude that I've received nothing but real and up-to-date patches for my copy of Windows XP all through Firefox.

The bonus? It's faster than Windows Update. El oh el.

Try it. It works.

    I've used WindizUpdate before with great success. The only downside is that critical updates take a bit longer to get to their site than they do to Windows Update.
