Microsoft to roll out five Windows 7 Beta test updates

Microsoft has announced that it will roll out updates for Windows 7 Beta next week. In a blogpost on the Windows blog, Brandon LeBlanc mentions that the updates will allow Microsoft to 'test and verify their ability to deliver and manage the updating of Windows 7.' These updates will be released on Tuesday, 24 February.

Microsoft specifically stresses that no new features or bug fixes are included in the five updates. The users who've installed Windows 7 Beta will have to download and install these updates manually from the Windows Update control panel. These updates will basically test the Windows 7 servicing infrastructure.

As specifically mentioned by the Microsoft team, the updates won't be automatically installed and will be listed at 'Test update' in the Windows Update control panel. To skip the installation procedure of these test updates, simply right click on each update and select 'Hide Update.'

Windows 7 Beta users get ready for the 'test updates,' which are going to test the operating system's services infrastructure. More details about the update will available only when they arrive on 24 February next week.
