In line with Microsofts XP SP2 release, Windows update has been treated to an overhaul. Whilst its looks remain similar to v4 you now get the option of Express or Custom scanning. Express will check for high priority updates (used to be called Critical updates) whilst Custom will check for high priority updates and optional components. The EULA screen has been modernised along with the download screen informing you of each update being downloaded and then as each update is installed. On the whole it looks like the wording has been changed to make it more ‘consumer’ friendly probably for those with limited IT skills whilst remaining concise enough for those in the know.
