/!\ MS caught lying about their Convenience Rollup? (included updates)
so we're studying virtual machines & I decided to go a bit beyond the curriculum & did some tests of my own on a win7 VM ^^
simple question really: in the catalog article on kb3125574 all the allegedly included updates are listed
so knowing MS I decided to test this
turns out my hunch may have been justified!
for instance KB2574819 & KB2639308 are in the list of updates allegedly included in the rollup
so once again on a 7 x64 virtual machine I installed the service stack update & the rollup
then I tried installing KB2574819 & KB2639308 - and it worked! windows asks if I want to install the updates (instead of saying "update already installed" or "update not applicable" as would be expected) even though they're suppose to be already in the rollup!
I tested other updates (which MS says are in the rollup) and it appears MS may have lied about those too since I can install them even after the rollup
the only explanation's that those updates were NOT included in the rollup to begin with right?
so question is, why tf would they lie about included updates in a rollup? a possible reason is that instead of those useful updates they snuck in something far less useful like telemetry updates or something
