Okay, Firefox rocks. We’ve already established that. But, it also doesn’t do EVERYTHING that IE does. For instance, it won’t handle Windows Updates, right?

WRONG! That’s where today’s site comes into play.

It’s called WindizUpdate. You can update Windows through Firefox!

The first time you use it, you will be prompted to install software that will scan your registry. Normally, that’s not something you would want to do, but you can trust this site.

After you install the software, it scans your system. Then, any needed updates can be downloaded directly from them. And has Microsoft decided that your XP is “illegal?” This can happen from installing too much hardware. You can try to get it to relent by making a phone call. OR, you can use WindizUpdate!

So, why use WindizUpdate? Well, I’ll let someone there explain:

No personally identifiable information is collected from your computer. No more unwanted spyware - Microsoft Internet Explorer can finally be removed from your computer (if that were possible). It lists just the updates you need. If an update has been superceded by a newer one, it will not ask you to install the older one.
