Microsoft's "test update" fluke was a real test - a test to see if they can send encrypted updates. (Conspiracy)

submitted ago by Calorie-Kin

With the current reputation of Microsoft, people started checking what updates do. Checking what files were affected, what was installed and how the system changed. This made Microsoft worry they won't be able to push spyware via Windows Update.

The solution? Encrypted updates. A new method of delivering updates that completely hides the files installed, their purpose, and maybe even unlists them from "Installed Programs"? It would only make sense, given how people over-analyze their updates.

Encryption for me but not for thee. I feel like the writing is on the wall with this one and the sad thing is, if you explain this to the average person they will think your crazy.
