Can't argue when you have nothing to argue about.

In your post (statement) you gave a web page link. That web page link is
incorrect, wrong, inaccurate.

You gave: http://www.update.microsoft.com/
That should be: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Also, since Microsoft Update is the continuation of Windows Update - the
last version of Windows Update released was 5.0.. so the next logical
revision is 6.0.. It can always be gotten to in Internet Explorer by
selecting (from the top set of menus in Internet Explorer) "Tools" -->
"Windows Update" (they may change that to say "Microsoft Update" in the near
future - but until then, you can still get to it - all the same.)
