Windows 7 SP1 Close to RTM, Build 7601.17514.101119-1850 Signed Off

[yowanvista]

I haven't installed kb971033, this is the only thing that will prevent me from installing SP1 unless I can modify the service pack

I get concerned when someone doesn't want updates that involve activation. It makes it sound as though there's shady stuff going on. I accept every single "Important" update and a vast majority of "Recommended" and "Optional" updates, and I've never had a single issue. When you start picking and choosing, you leave your system vulnerable and open the doors for problems down the road.

Personal choice, unless you're responsible for more than your own machine.

You can get as concerned as you wish, and it will change nothing. Especially when the basis of your reasoning is invalid and irrelevant.

To OP your conclusion is incorrect, and what is relevant is nothing will change.

Ok folks, lets keep it friendly...

I tend to agree... avoiding a particular up such as WAT leads me to believe you are circumventing the software some how and are afraid that if you accept an update it'll break your "hack"...

No, that is not it at all. Many people are concerned with HOW it works.
Bing search the REAL reasons why most do not want to install that Update.
It has nothing to do with circumventing anything. There are MANY other concerns as well.

 

[sygnus21]

I'll vouch for seekermeister's character

We need to move on instead of continuously attacking a person for not wanting a particular update. Tepid is 100% percent right, there are other concerns with regards to certain updates. I will also vouch for Seekermeister's character when he says it's not a pirate issue.

Continuous attack posts will be reported. Let's move on to more civil discussions.

Peace

Happy New Year to everyone

Be sure to have your images completed before SP1 is installed.

Take care and regards

 

[sygnus21]

Thanks, and good point

Happy New Year to you as well.

I don't like these updates myself and I got a legit key thanks to my collage being part of MSDNAA

I uninstalled anything bing when I saw it and moved on with life.

I have both kb2286198 and kb971033 and things are good on this end.

I'm looking forward to it more so because I'm a completist and I can add to my rig's image SP1. Windows Updates just take too long over the Internets.

 

[logicearth]

Windows Activation Technologies (KB971033) is not part of the Service Pack. Now KB2286198 is a security update and is part of the Service Pack as it should be. KB2286198 patches MS10-046 which is a critical vulnerability.

 

[jp07764]

The thing I do not understand is that after the
service pack is there will be updates the fix what it broke.
They are always putting out updates to fix the updates.

Thanks for the update Jan.

Yeah, will wait for SP1...and will grab it out of the WU and make a free install.

I'm not afraid of WAT since i have it since the beginning...i'd set to manual in services.msc and about every 3 months (as MS said) it been checked on my back whenever they might thought i'm cracked. I'm still here!!!!

Happy new year 2011!

 

[blackzero]

Happy new year all, and Microsoft, hope you can gift us with the SP1 quicker. xD

Has anybody installed this, and if so, is there anything we should know.

Hi!
If you're talking about the kb971033 (WAT), i do not see any against not installing it.
Got it and so far don't even notice (might not please some) when it check my system. In services.msc just don't let it run automatic mode or disable it if you want.
It been a lot of discuss about WAT as it had been about WGA in XP...

Well, let say you're someone that like tweaking and modifying (not talking crack/hack manner!) for your own experience Windows 7, you might not want MS checking whenever your system is genuine, but unless you've really change & modified your OS i'll let it be.
