Windows Update is a web-based software update service for Microsoft
Windows operating systems. It offers a location for downloading
critical system component updates, service packs, security fixes,
patches and free upgrades to selected Windows components.
Additionally, it automatically detects the user's hardware and
provides driver updates when available, and can offer beta versions
of some Microsoft programs.
The Windows Update feature was in the headlines because of the July
2005-introduced Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) for users updating
any version of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000.
Treated as an update, the software analyzes the user's computer and
determines if their copy of Windows XP is genuine. Critics found
that the service is spyware-similar, as it does not explicitly tell
users of the data collected on the user's computer and delivered to
Microsoft servers.
