When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design

Windows Update v6 Released as Microsoft
Update

Windows Update v6 Released as Microsoft
Update 06/06/2005 12:13 AM
Thanks eXtermia for the heads up on this news, found at DriverHeaven

They are reporting that Microsoft have publically released Windows Update v6, now dubbed Microsoft Update. Users on Windows 2000, 2003 Server and XP have access to the web site after downloading an ActiveX update. The new update site supports both Windows and Office 2003 updates in one central location making it easier for customers to get a hold of the latest patches and updates available to Microsoft software.

Once at the website, you'll have to agree to download some new software which may take a couple of minutes, but once done you'll see the new version of the Windows Update website - although there don't seem to be any new updates on there at the moment. Windows XP users will have to have at least Service Pack 1 to use the site.

New Windows Update

New Windows Update 08/14/2004 07:58 AM

The Windows Update site has been, well, updated. I was doing some maintenance on my parents' machines last night at about 10 p.m. and everything was as it usually is.

However, right now at 6:19 a.m. the next morning, the Windows Update site is sporting a new look, asking me to download new scanning software, and has "v5" in the URL instead of the normal "v4." The new software lets you choose if you want to scan only for critical updates, or for all updates.

With my luck, someone's spoofing it and I'm being hacked as I write this.

Windows Update V6 Gone Public?

Windows Update V6 Gone Public? 04/05/2005 08:43 AM
This was originally going to be a heads up for a new Update for Windows XP (KB893357). So being the great reporter that I am I decided to install it first before writing about it.

When I pointed my browser to Windows Update I expected to see trusty ol' V5 (Windows Update Version 5) but was presented with V6 instead. It's important to note that I haven't done anything fancy with my computer and I confirmed this with another Neowin reporter before writing this, and the same happened to him. He got V6.

I had to install the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool for the site to work, its pretty clear that the update checks if your Windows installation is genuine, much like the Windows Genuine Advantage Program available at Microsoft.com on selective downloads. I guess Microsoft won't be serving updates for 'dodgy' copies of Windows anymore!

Anyway, it may be a glitch in the system at Microsoft, since the Microsoft Update Beta is not out of Beta yet. So just in case, I took some screenshots so we can all see what V6 looks like.

Microsoft were unavailable for comment on the status of the new Microsoft Windows Update. Details of the new update can be found by clicking 'Read more'.

Windows Installer 3 Update

Windows Installer 3 Update 09/09/2004 10:58 AM
Microsoft have released info on the progress of their next generation installer sofware, version 3.

"Since the general availability of Windows XP Service Pack 2, the Windows Installer team has received numerous inquiries about the status of the Windows Installer 3.0. We wanted to give everyone an update and pointers to where you can find the information you need. The Windows Installer 3.0 is released in three pieces:

The first piece is the actual bits that shipped as part of Windows XP Service Pack 2. Service Pack 2 is widely available through Windows Update as well as from here.

The second piece is the SDK documentation and tools that are available of the Windows XP Service Pack 2 SDK that is now available from here.

The final piece is the down level redistributable for Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and 4, Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2003. Unfortunately, we have experienced a delay in making this redistributable available. We expect to make the redistributable available in September, but we do not yet have a firm date."
