The information pages appear to be updating as we speak. 2 more have info now, so I guess I'll just wait a bit more to update them all to see what they are for.

Yes the information pages are all there now.Installed them all apart from the (Kb2522422) which seems to only be relevant for people using cannon printers.Installed the others one at a time, 2 required reboots and (Kb2492386) changed my custom start orb back to default.No other issues at present though.

EDIT: Sorry for the highlighting in the screenshot. That means nothing, I was just in too much of a rush!

Airbot · 26 Apr 2011

Yeah, I just wanted to know the information of the Update ones, minus the Malicious tool one.

KB2515325 still doesn't have the info page up, but installed most of them now I know what they are for. Thanks.

You have no choice if you install their operating systems. Also, it would be exceedingly foolish of them to do anything foolish! :)

Well, actually you do. Some updates of theirs have been known to botch systems, so having the choice to apply the updates or not is a choice.
