Windows Desktop Search and "Automatically approve new revi..

Hi,

I've seen one person report that the new revision of the Windows Desktop Search
update was automatically approved on a system where the "Automatically approve
new revisions of updates that are already approved" was disabled. If anyone
else experienced this please let me know - please make sure that you have
doublechecked the setting first; it lives in Options, Automatic Approvals, Advanced.

Also let me know if you've noticed the same behaviour on any other updates.

Harry.

Thanks for pointing out the setting. I have no disabled that setting. In
any case, I am furious (for all the good that it does) that Microsoft
manipulated the situation in order to call the new search a "revision" of an
earlier update. Revision my ass! That's a whole new version and it is going
off all my PCs immediately if I have to reload Windows to do it!

What a lousy way to try to beat the competition. I don't use any other
desktop search so this isn't a preference thing but if Microsoft wants to win
the desktop search wars, do it by providing a quality product rather than
abuse and violation of trust!
