Today I installed 5 WU on my Win7 Ultimate laptop. As nothing special to do on this night, I thought to write about them.

1. KB979306: Related to Daylight saving time and new time zone laws.

2. KB976662: IE8’s JSON interoperability in Conformance with new ECMAScript, 5th Edition.

3. KB977863: Cumulative update for media center for Windows 7. For a complete listing of issues fix, refer the KB article here

4. KB971033: Hero of the day! Update for Windows Activation Technologies, which detects activation exploits & tampering to key windows system files. KB article here

5. KB976264: Related to AppCompatibility issues. For a complete listing of the fixed issues, refer the KB article here.

Here, I want to discuss about the last update, which is related to Application compatibility issues. This fix is applicable for LongHorn SP2 and above and makes no registry key changes, no restart required. If I am wrong, This is the first AppCompatibility package for Windows 7 & Server R2.

Around 329 Apps fixed with this (on Win7). Like in NERO 8,  Preview option should work when you open a photo in Nero PhotoSnap. Hmm! Sound useful fix as it covers many popular apps. FYI, it also (Hard/soft)Blocks around 52 Applications. Why? Just for making Your Windows Experience better!!
