Also, confusion remains as to the differences between “Windows Update” and “Microsoft Update”.
Basically, Windows Update only covers the Windows operating system. While Microsoft Update covers additional Microsoft products, Microsoft Office in particular.
Also, we remind our customers that “Microsoft Update” does not update older versions of Office products. To update these it is still necessary to visit “Office Update”.
Products updated by “Microsoft Update”:
Windows 2000+, Exchange 2000+, SQL Server 2000+, Office XP+
Products updated by “Windows Update”:
Windows Update provides high-priority and optional updates for all supported versions of the Windows operating system.
(Please note that operating system products older then Windows 2000 are no longer supported and updates are not available. Vulnerabilities are no longer being patched).
