The History of the Website

With the release of Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 in 2004, the Windows Update website got a whole new design. Even though the sidebar design was very similar to the previous one (from Windows Update v4), the user got the possibility to use two modes when checking for updates (Express, which would only check for critical updates, and Custom, which would check for every missing updates, whatever type it would be), and the ability to check for Beta software updates. Windows Update also lost the Windows Update Catalog (even if it was available via a link in the Administrator options, leading to the v4 site).
