Windows Mobile Update

[JRLWeasle]

I am not sure if anyone has seen a kaiser, but it has a program to update the windows mobile with any necessary updates. Like Windows for a PC. Does anyone know where we can dowload that?

I've a feeling it's included in the latest official WM6 for Hermes from HTC (and since others like AT&T, T-Mob, etc).

If not it's included on a number of ROMs from chefs or you can cook it in with the likes of Pandora.

Haven't seen a cab for it anywhere.

Not sure you should though - I don't think the service is running yet. I think it's some future-proofing for further down the line. 'Till then it's just using resources it can't pay you back for with any functionality.

The Windows update feature of WM6 isn't similar to the PC one, used to update any part of the OS and another programs. The WM6 one will be used only for real critical problems (security related, probabily). In fact, M$ said that it may be unneccesary and may be not activated never.

Well done M$, as usual. Screw the device's perfomance, they just stick on a bit of software that definitely can't be used for now and quite possibly never.

Good eggs, they are. You ever get the feeling they think that you have 49% ownership of any PC or device that uses Windows and they have 51%..?

Q: "Where do you want to go today?"

A: "Somewhere else, Bill. Somewhere else..."

Why assume I'm a yuppie? (The 'rest of the yuppies'?) You've no evidence for that.

It affects your performance because it involves unnecessary files in your windows folder which degrades performance. Simple.

I didn't even say it screws the devices performance. Read properly. I said "Screw the device's performance" as a parody of their attitude. Nonetheless, it does, for the reason above, have a degrading effect on performce as do all extra files in Windows.

Why would being 'so against' Microsoft involve either being a yuppie or owning an iphone anyway? There's no evidence for either. Do you know what a yuppie actually is?

Why does my disliking microsoft's apparent preference for their needs over mine in products I buy from them mean a tap to you? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical - I don't care why.

Don't bother asking why I buy them because it's none of your business. In actual fact I need to have a Windows Mobile device. Doesn't mean I have to like that fact or Microsoft themselves who have an appalling record for putting their own needs before their customers', or have you not been around for the last 12 years?

If you're going to try to be smart then try to make sense.
