Eric,
I was wondering if you could clarify a couple of things about this service.
What testing/validation do you perform on the patches? E.G are you
automatically approving them, testing then approving, waiting a week to see
if there are any known problems then approving, etc.
What testing, if any have you done on the registry files that were put
up? Reading through them, I don't see any problems, but have they been
tested on Win2K/XP/03?
In no way should anyone take this as me being critical of this project as I
think it is a good idea. I just think there needs to be more information
provided.
John
