Windows 8.1 Update 1
Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2014 1:49 pm
As time is drawing closer to the official release of Update 1 for Windows 8.1 thought is was time to throw the cards on the table as how this is to be best approached concerning autopatcher..
First Option: Create a separate script just for the Update thus allowing the user the decision to download and install at their convenience
Having thought it over some, this would be a wiser move as the releases themselves are of sizable downloads at the moment, Win8.1 x64 @ 757 Mb and Win 8.1 x86 @ 453 Mb. This would be grossly exaggerated if the Update were included in the release, from figures posted around on various websites it would appear that Win 8.1 x64 Update 1 is approximately 770 Mb and Windows 8.1 x86 is 360 Mb.
Second Option: most obvious is the Update 1 be included in the current scripts !!!
Third Option: Allow systems to download via Windows Update
Would like to hear from users their opinions and ideas on the matter
