Every so often, I pay a little visit to Windows Update, like a good little Windows user. This morning I did just that on my wife’s laptop since I’m using it while in L.A. this week. It turns out there were a couple of updates that she did need. (I guess?) But the most bizarre thing I saw actually had me laugh out loud while sitting in Starbucks.

Here’s a Windows Update item that you might be interested in… purely for its comic value. (Click image for larger version).

Wow. Basically, put another way, the “Files and Settings Transfer Wizard” does not actually transfer files and settings — despite its rather misleading moniker — and this 794k update is all that’s missing to make the utility work.
