On my WinVista laptop, I occasionally get a Notification Bar icon saying 'There is a new version of Java available, click here to download it'. I do, the standard 'Cancel/Allow' box pops up, I click 'allow'. However, /every time/ I get a message saying 'You already have the latest version of Java!'.

<@gnolam>
Do they still have their own constantly running background process to check for updates, or have they figured out that there's such a thing as a scheduler yet?
22:01 Vornicus [Vorn@ServerAdministrator.Nightstar.Net] has quit [Connection closed]
22:04
<@macdjord>
gnolam: Background process.
22:05
<@gnolam>
Oh FFS.
22:05
< [R]>
Protip: remove the execute perm from their update process
22:06
<@gnolam>
This is... well, something that could be performed by /a .BAT file/, but they still have their own broken solution. And some people wonder why app Java was shunned...
22:06
< [R]>
It's less stupid on better platforms.
22:07
< [R]>
Actually, I've no issue with it at all on Linux.
22:07
<@macdjord>
[R]: I wouldn't /mind/, it's quite a small footprint, if only it did it's /job/. EIther its telling me there is an update when there isn't, or it's failing to fetch the update and then lying.
22:07
< [R]>
I find it needlessly noisy
22:08
< [R]>
On Windows+*
22:08
<&McMartin>
Windows needs a more generic Update Center that third parties can register with, like Add/Remove programs.
22:08
< [R]>
^
22:09
< [R]>
Windows is generally 3-4 release cycles behind other OS on shit like that I find.
22:09
< [R]>
Though the "App Store" is supposed to fix that
22:09
<&McMartin>
Microsoft also needs to use its own Windows Update to manage updates for its libc, as opposed to just its lib.net
22:10
<&McMartin>
I don't consider app stores a step forward, but my goal is different.
22:10
< [R]>
I was more talking about stuff from the App Store gets updates from the App Store's update checker
22:10
<&McMartin>
I'm setting Windows a harder problem than the one Apple solves.
22:10
<&McMartin>
Yeah
22:10
<&McMartin>
That's an easier problem
22:10
<&McMartin>
I want them to be able to do that *in the screaming anarchy of the Windows software ecosystem*
22:11
<&McMartin>
Which Linux handles via, basically, extended private repos.
22:11
<&McMartin>
Er, adding private repos to the official update extension list and then still centralizing it but having it off on its own end.
22:13
< [R]>
Yeah
22:14
< [R]>
It'd be nice if MS got off their ass and actually looked at their compeditors.
22:15
< [R]>
At the same time though, I realize they've got the legacy baggage issue, so they're really fucked in that regard.
22:15
<&McMartin>
Heh. They tried to pull an Apple twice and its customer base rejected them soundly both times.
22:15
<&McMartin>
"If we wanted to have to rebuy an entirely new system every couple of updates, we'd be using Apple products"
22:16
<&McMartin>
Also, I don't really want them copying Lion or Unity kthx
22:16
< [R]>
Yeah... that'd be shitty
22:20
<&McMartin>
What I'd like them to do, and which they won't, because only greybeards care, would be to make Metro work as a tiling window manager
22:20
<&McMartin>
Like, intentionally generically, not just "you can see a third of some other application over there"
22:20
< [R]>
Yessssss
22:21
<&McMartin>
But "this half is my web browser, that half is my code editor, my command console is a strip on the bottom
22:21 * [R] wonders if Grids was ported to W8
