Exactly what do you want to update? If it is the operating system the you
have the latest but any updates would be provided by the machines maker so
check your makers website.

Right now if you want those, you would have to be an insider at MS. they
don't seem to make much available in the way of updates. Active Sync is
about the only thing they've updated since Windows SE and it still bites.
I think that division wouild need to break off from MS for it to move
forward. I don't believe much effort is being put there for reliability,
funcitionality, customer satisfaction. I think their only goal is to get
into more factory and online business forms evnironments etc so that is
where they will focus their efforts.

You'll have to look on the OEM's website for your Loox to find
updates and patches Microsoft doesn't provide these at all,
they only roll out the bare operating system to the OEM's and
they have to do the rest.
