Just a question of curiosity. Please, be honest with your votes.

And you may describe your usage of AutoPatcher, if you want.

There seems to be an indication of the importance of x64 versions and also of Windows Vista I'm really curious about this Poll!

[Cyrus]

I also need x64 support as soon as they can get to it.

I don't update any computers regularly but when i am working on a machine I make sure my thumb drive with AP loaded on it isn't far away.

i work fixing machines, mostly, win xp machines. i too fix machines with windows vista, but thanks to the poor quality of the hardware sold in here (even for those who are sell with vista inside) and a lot of SO issues, just a few people runs windows vista around here (in fact, just a few people stay with that after a couple of weeks) and those that stays with vista us to have better IC's. since around here just a few people kick off his old machines (some just move his old pcs to child play. others just give it by free will to some school, that haven't money to buy brand new machines). so, in a lot of cases, i still need fix machines running win 98/ME. staying win AP versions, i don't run any other version of AP than XP, but you may very well put a lot of machines each month updated with this one. and the main reason: our main ISP (BrasilTelecom) has an poor international link. other ISP has better download speeds from WU (not so better, since still need a couple of hours just to download the updates), but a lot of those has traffic limits and AP saves a lot of it

you may say: why not integrate all? easy. i don't sell machines, just fix it. besides, i don't wish win my money selling machines with software that the people will not run. by other hand, sometimes i loose clients to other guys that just download the version of AP that i build and do almost the same thing than i do, but asking less money to do that. but so is the life...

I am almost the same, since i am the family /friends technical nominee i have autopatcher on a disk very close to hand!

[Wyvern]

Maybe should have a comments too. I build and fix but my home network of six machines is managed by WSUS. If I'm rebuilding any of these I use Autopatcher to update the main Internet and addons that WSUS doesn't handle like tweakui, Flash etc.

Other than that, great to be using it again

I update 30 machines at work plus my 3 machines on my home network. They range from windows 2k to 2k3 servers and 2k/XP XP64 workstations.

And I too keep a flash drive with AP on it close at hand.

Have you thought about using a WSUS server. It would be easier to update 30 PCs and use Autopatcher to quickly patch new or rebuilt machines

[Calum]

I update 3 computers in my house, plus any client computers that need updates.
I generally just use the XP 32 bit version, but I have needed to use the Windows 2000 and 20003 versions, and will be using the XP X64 edition soon.

I am always working on one pc or another.

Any pc that pass thru me, gets an installment of AutoPatcher.

I love this program so much.

I was so very dissapointed when I heard MicroSh1t was coming down on this program and giving Antonis Kaladis and Jason Kelley a hard time.

This program is like the army knife. I just can't say enough great things about this program.

On a fresh install, I setup a firewall, Winrar, an antivirus program, Opera browser and then AutoPatcher.

I just wanted to say thank you. This program saves a person sooo much time, and it takes all the guess work out of updating important fixes on WinBlows, I mean Windows.

[CLHatch]

Well, I answered the poll with my "regular" usage, which is three machines, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista 64-bit, along with Office. However, I keep a USB drive with ALL the of the English updates in my wallet, along with the the service packs need to bring a system up to the level needed by AutoPatcher, some drivers, and a few useful programs (latest Firefox, Opera, Notepad++, etc), so I can update pretty much any system I come across.

Good idea. Added the votes

[Black Ghost]

Did not see Office 2010 on the list for voting. That is what my girlfriend uses.

[Cristiano]

it's because an script for office 2010 can't be done right now, because autopatcher doesn't detect this one right now. i do have an license for this one (h&s) and i'm running the x64 version. but for x64, it's an problem detect updates for this one with the current version of autopatcher

[babcocca]

I just wanted to say that I have used and still use AutoPatcher very often! It makes me look like a patching genius!

[inrobit]

I've slimmed down a windows xp setup disc and configured services etc. with nLite. I'm using AutoPatcher as a silent installer of selected updates (I delete unnecessary updates files) (compressed in a self extracting archive, it was just under 100 MiB, in February 2011). My friends appreciate the results, so I've used it on tens of computers, and I've never had issues.

[ViroMan]

glad to hear it.

[ViroMan]

ha... I find it funny that people are still using the older poll instead of the newer poll.
