    Hello folks;  Good news comes in three's, and this is the 3rd new product category this week.

    Today you will see another  new product category in your WSUS Synchronization Options dialogs. Windows Vista Dynamic Installer will as of today’s synchronization, show up as a new Windows product category. Windows Vista Dynamic Installer is initially released as part of a Windows VISTA Beta 2. This category will allow Windows Vista Beta 2 to install with the latest security and driver updates and apply them as the OS is being installed for future beta participants.  Windows Vista Dynamic Installer Beta 2 Updates will only be available to Vista beta participants installing Windows Vista Beta 2, and only during the setup process.  While updates for Windows Vista Dynamic Installer may be released and available for synchronization to WSUS servers shortly, approving these updates can only apply to beta participant clients installing Vista  beta 2, due to release later this year.  For more information about Windows Vista see:  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.aspx.  

     

    thanks and have a great weekend!
