Since other Live upgrades and versions(e.g Writer, PhotoGallery) have occurred via Microsoft Update that would be the obvious.
Both were automatically installed if Windows Update was configured in Automatic mode. Live Toolbar was also deployed via MU, same
automatic installation..the Toolbar update 'view details' option also came with with an amazingly incorrect kb article reference
for help and support(
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887811).
The Writer and PhotoGallery(complete replacements of almost all files) were without issue..but they are not as global in
integration with other Windows components and settings.
I also hope the Live Team learned something from the MSN team about deploying a mail client upgrade without external testing(e.g.
MSn Premium 9.2 to 9.5 to 9.6 was/is done online within the application--the difference--Msn Premium is a subscription based
application)
