#2 has allso been reported to MS by official betatesters of SP3
I just installed SP3-RTM. When I tried to download the
updated ESSTECH Maestro 2E soundcard driver from
windowsupdate, it said that it could not install it.
In addition :
The SP3 - RTM did not remove the "application
compatibility update" from the ADD/ REMOVE programs. I
had to remove this manually and reinstall SP3 - RTM.
Additionally, when I go to remove the "Microsoft Windows
Critical Update Notification", it says that it cannot find
wucrtupd.inf . I'm trying to remove it because it has
been superceded by the automatic updates utility.
None of these are concidered as bug's, they are features :P
