    Are the updates going to change


    I read a few articles this one included and am wondering if the usual Windows updates (KB#######) are going to be changed to a MS - ###### patches format?

    So what? the article designation may change, but there is no reason/need to change anything else (does anyone here remember the Q numbering system?)
    They are basically irrelevant to WU anyhow as the updates are never downloaded by KB/MS number, but by package.

    Sorry Noel I was only asking as the article I got to read I thought was a bit ambiguous being not a Microsoft message, and being a little on the cautious side I thought it prudent to ask maybe I shouldn't have.

Does Windows Updates change DLLs?
in Windows Updates & Activation

One of my friends has a practice of changing the status of DLLs to "read-only" on Windows OS (7 and XP). He recommends doing this immediately after installation for security i.e. in order to prevent malware execution. Does that sound like a good idea, or do DLLs need stay writeable, in order...
