Hi.
I just loaded up a x64 Win2003 server for my development machine. This is my
first x64 machine. I installed a mix of x32 and x64 tools such including
Office and VS2005 and VS2008 and SQL. When I go to windowsupdate and check
for updates, it shows no critical updates. I do not think this is correct as
I had recently built a x32 machine with a similar configuration and had
many, many updates. I have tried this with both the 32 and 64 bit versions
of IE with same result. Is there a problem using windowsupdate for 32 bit
app running under 64bit OS? Since this will be my primary development PC for
64 bit applications I want to have the latest updates installed.

Thanks,

BigFish
