It's my understanding that the SP1 beta forcibly installs KB971033.

Well as long as one is using a bona fide key there should be no problems.

Core,
that was the case for Win Vista that notice was mentioned but I have not seen this happen as yet if it does during the first week I will post results until then,Thankx for the heads up I am of the belief that seeing is believing we will wait and see Thankx for your post.




KB971033: New Update for “Windows Activation ... Windows Update that downloads and installs ... Windows Vista Service Pack 1

try reading this FAQ

We've already had this conversation.

Sorry ol' chap! I'm sure we have, but I forgot. That's the issue of being ADD, every day is a new adventure! LOL!

Maybe it could be merged with the other thread? Some info there for those who dare?
Windows 7 Service packs

A major update normally includes all former updates. This has also been stated and confirmed by Microsoft.
1033 was listed as an "important" update , when first issued, so it is possible it will be included, without the option.
As I had it already installed, I can't confirm if SP1 also included it.

we have covered this,if the matter still forces that KB well the tech-Net registered key will correct any problems relating to updates only on server at present or RTM ltimate etc of win7
again
Beam me up please
Be nice Boys be Nice
Later
