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.
