Lesson Summary
■ You can use the Windows Update site to scan a computer and display available
critical, Windows, and driver updates.
■ Automatic Updates is a Windows XP feature that downloads and installs critical
updates automatically. Although you can specify that Automatic Updates prompt
users before downloading or installing, Microsoft recommends that you configure
it to download and install automatically according to a preset schedule.
■ Service packs are collections of updates (and sometimes new features) that have
been tested to ensure that they work together correctly. Microsoft occasionally
issues new service packs for its products.
