10 Test Updates Coming for Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) on May 12th

Today "Windows 7 Team Blog" announced about 10 test updates for Windows 7 RC coming on May 12th. If you can remember, the same thing happened with Windows 7 Beta build when Microsoft released 5 test updates on Feb 24th. Here is what "Windows 7 Team Blog" says:

Starting this Tuesday (May 12th) we will release up to ten test updates to PCs running the Windows 7 RC in order to verify our ability to deliver and manage updating of Windows 7 in certain real-life scenarios. These updates do not deliver any new features or fixes.

And here is what "Microsoft Update Blog" says:

We need to verify the update infrastructure to ensure that when we need to release real updates, the process will run smoothly. There will be at most 10 updates, and as before, they will not deliver any new features or fixes.
Many of the updates will install automatically, and a few will not. One of the updates will test a new update notification feature that provides detailed information about available updates that need to be installed manually. Windows 7 RC users will be prompted to install this update and provided more information about this feature –it will not install automatically.
Users will need to go to the Windows Update control panel and manually start installation of the updates that don’t install automatically, and the updates will be clearly marked as test updates.

So guys, make sure to install all these test updates on May 12th.
