Windows Update Web Site
This is a discussion about Windows Update Web Site in the Windows Hardware category; Last week I noticed that MS had put made some Device Drivers available via the Windows Update web site. And all of them were listed as. . . INTERNAL USE ONLY. PUBLIC USE IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED. Well, as an update to that post.

Well, as an update to that post... those six drivers are now gone from the web site - causing me to ask a few questions:
Did anyone try those drivers out?
And if you did, what was your experience with those drivers?
As for me, I wasn't brave/stupid enough to try them out. But a friend of mine did and he said it BSODed him pretty well. Well enough in fact that he had to clean install Win2K again....

I updated 2183 using those new device drivers at the MS Windows Update page. System has been up and running ever since with no problems in the least. Worst case if it did **** it up was just a format and reinstall.
Works fine for me in RC3, but I didn't notice any differences.
