Microsoft Windows Augmentation

Augmentation: the increasing, or growth, of something in number, amount, size, strength, or intensity, or the amount by which something grows or is added to.

Encarta World English Dictionary page 110.

And, as necessary: Microsoft Office Augmentation

I duno... augmentation is a big word and may not be abundantly apparent to other languages that it is, what it is but, utilities does and so does power and tools. I know those can be read by many non english and know what it means.

Am I the only one that voted? lol

[Whatacrock]

Actually could count as 2 votes as DesertJerry's suggestion included.
I'm already decided on the issue and so to be neutral am reframing from voting.

PLEASE VOTE PEOPLE(It's not rocket science or brain surgery)

The poll is a bit broken. If you vote to leave as is, you get an error if you don't select what you want it renamed to.

[ViroMan]

I see what you mean click-click... poll fixed.

[_def_x_]

I vote for short, sweet, concise, and without redundancy

It would be nice if the list had categories, then you could remove "AutoPatcher for" or "Addon Pack" from every listing - my $0.02.

@ _def_x_ ---thats is what we are trying to achieve by catergorizing the updates by Operating System, so far we have Windows XP x86, Windows XP x64, Dotnet x86, Dotnet x64..etc
Each OS has a critical, Non Critical and Components folder and child folders to each holding all the executables, however one exception to this is Windows XP which currently has 6 folders and 6 childs.
Autopatcher for has been removed on the work I have been doing hence the reason for the poll....the remaining catergories need new names for their homes.
Sorry if I have waffled on but just stating what has been done......

[_def_x_]

Sorry WAC, I'm not at all sure what your asking, at first I thought you were asking about the releases list, which is what I mentioned, now for the first time I see the word 'folder', so I'm guessing you're asking about the \modules folder layout, or both - I'm confused. Examples of 'old' and 'new' would be nice

My opinion is meaningless, I haven't used AutoPatcher for so long I don't even know what you guys are doing anymore, and the few people I had been helping are using my friends app exclusively.

My opinion still stands - keep it simple, use their respective names, put it on paper first, see how it looks, is it logical, do-able. Maybe,

\modules
................ \xp_x86_enu
................ \xp_x86_ita
................ \7_x64_any
................ \adobe
........................ \reader
........................ \air
................ \directx
................ \extras
................ \dotnet
........................ \x64
........................ \x86

or according to language, something like,

\modules
................ \enu
........................ \xp_sp3_x86
........................ \xp_sp2_x64
........................ \office_xp
................ \ita
........................ \2k_sp4_x86
........................ \xp_sp3_x86
........................ \adobe_reader
................ \any
........................ \7_sp1_x64
........................ \vista_sp2_x86
........................ \directx

[Whatacrock]

Sorry for the confusion _def_x_ .... the layout is similar to your first suggestion I didn't explain it very well.

[Whatacrock]

Time is ticking people...tick tock....if you have any suggestions please vote and voice your opinion.
