What I would up having to do to get it working included getting a full uninstaller program, cleaning out all of the registry entries related to wordpress, then actually re-installing it. By having a copy of the plugin on my flash drive, I connected it, install it after the WB installation, then got it to work. Mind you, I de-frag and check for errors weekly coupled with having Norton Ghost backing up all of my data and a rock-solid firewall/antivirus/spyware installed, so I had no idea why it didn't work w/ the autoupdater. *shrugs* It may be a great tool for those who are able to use it, but I wasn’t able to utilize it on my desktop for some reason.

That's all resolved now (reset password via email, etc. etc.) but I did notice that you can indeed auto-upgrade plugins without InstantUpgrade. Here's a quote from my plugin list: "There is a new version of WordPress Thread Comment available. Download version 1.4.7.5 here or upgrade automatically." I do not believe this is additional functionality outside of the WP core, but I'm not sure either - it could be one of my cool 16 plugins doing this. This may be what the 2.5 auto upgrade feature was all about. However, I hope InstantUpgrade becomes part of the core - a great tool, even when it's teh FAIL. news: I upgraded to 2.6 via InstantUpgrade, and then subsequently could not login (!).

I thought they were going to include InstantUpgrade by default. However, if you'd like a stable one click upgrade tool for WP, you can't beat it.
