there are other ways to get that info without noticeable delay - we currently use it, and same mechanism is implemented/updated in the test app The only thoughts i have are about getting latest windows updates - it uses COM object, and it takes some time to load (i measured it on my Phenom x64 - it takes ~5..8 ms). The reference to this COM object has to be added to every app that wants to get WinUpdate info - currently MediaPortal App, Configs and TVService.
