Alan_B Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I was intrigued to see that Microsoft now update third party products. https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2962393 That deals with an issue for Windows 8.1 They list all the systems which are NOT affected by the issue, ranging from Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 through to Windows Server 2012 R2 (Server Core installation). I notice that somewhere in the middle of the "unaffected list) they show Windows 7 for 32-bit Systems Service Pack 1 Windows 7 for x64-based Systems Service Pack 1 but Windows 7 without SP1 is a "no show". I am just wondering how long after the release of a service pack do they forsake products without that Service Pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall seeing a Win7 PC that hasn't got SP1 for many years. There is a download link for Win7 SP1 if you need it Alan.

I remember the Win98 era that the Active X version of Flash Player was included, and when visiting Windows Updates it would offer to update it.
