I just bought a Surface from a Microsoft Store today, and the store assistant not only told me there were updates available but showed me how to update it. So they're definitely making a pro-active effort to encourage people to update where possible.
- jorts 14y agoI imagine that if it's anything like any version of Windows to come out since XP, or possibly even earlier, that updates are one of the first things that are presented to you post-install.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoIt doesn't seem that this is the case this, its even obscured as an optional update. See the linked article for more information.
- fel0niousmonk 14y ago'Obscured' isn't the right word. It's business as usual for office (and other non-system) updates to be under the 'Optional' category..
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoOne place to update apps on a system would be nice. I know windows as lots of legacy, but how many apps are optional system updates on windows rt?
- AndrewNCarr 14y agoI can easily imagine that MS store employees have been instructed to do this as a result of this issue. If that is the case, good responsiveness from MS. Somewhat reminds me of the following story. Not exactly, but it is an interesting read anyway: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/25/charles_eicher_christmas_1984/print.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/25/charles_eicher_chris...
