I have no qualms and no complaints with windows/microsoft updates. All automatic updates thrown at my rig are all accepted and digested with no problems afterwards. My windows 7 beta testbed is an asus eee pc 1000h 1.6ghz laptop with 2gb ram, 80gb hdd, and everything else stock. I could only guess your problems are result of hardware and associated driver issues with windows 7.

This is the update to correct the issue of mp3 files corruption. This is a must install.

I don't think so.

....read elsewhere that this could be linked to the installation of Java...
No problem with java. I've installed java jre since build 6956 and with beta now, working fine. No issues whatsoever.

...everyone's windows 7's are failing at the same time...
I think this is pure speculation.
So far, the updates from windows/microsoft updates currently installed are for office 2003 professional edition, windows defender, graphics adapter, MP3 files corruption fix, compatibility pack for the 2007 office system, and of course updates for software from their respective update sites, e.g., avast! antivirus.
Hope you guys will be able to sort-out your problems with windows 7 beta, before the next beta comes around. You will surely miss the enjoyment on playing with the potential "best windows ever".
