I am pretty sure that's only new updates. Updates from before the cutoff
date are still being offered to an XP machine of mine that I told to
"notify me of updates" right before the final XP update that warns you
how you are using an unsupported computer so go buy a new one, please.
And my virtual PC version of XP, that I have never done an update on,
reminds me regularly of 300-plus updates ready to download.

Cheers, Bob
