A better indicator may be the date of each patch file.

I was wide awake all the way up to June 13! Anyway, yea, those are
working even after the reboot now. (Really, I could almost swear I was
there a few days ago, & they weren't offered to me!)

There were quite a few patches rolled out on the 14th and the new Windows
Update V6 engine (as well as Microsoft Update) were also being rolled out.
The combination of all these meant heavier-than-normal demand on the servers
and many users weren't offered updates until Thursday or Friday, PCR.

I don't think Win9x is being offered either V6 or Microsoft Update, but I
could be wrong.

temporary blacklist, although I seem to get them late quite often, ask
mae! Thanks. Anyway, yea, as Glee says, it is still...
