Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a system and method for secure delivery of assets to a trusted device. Multiple levels of verification are implemented to enable components of a software update and asset delivery system to verify other components within the system. Furthermore, updates are provided only to client devices that are authorized to receive such updates. In one embodiment, the specific assets provided to a client device during a software update can be tailored to the client device, such that individual client devices can receive updated versions of software asset at a faster or slower rate than mass market devices. For example, developer or beta tester devices can receive pre-release assets, while enterprise devices can receive updates at a slower rate relative to mass market devices.

Abstract: Installation of an operating system update on a data processing system can begin by receiving one or more packages containing an operating system (OS) update that includes a first portion of the OS update and a second portion of the OS update. The first portion, once installed, provides a bootable OS which allows other applications to execute on the OS even without the second portion being installed. After the first portion has been installed, the installation process (e.g., an installer) commits the data processing system to boot off the first portion. After committing to boot off the first portion, the data processing system cannot boot off the prior OS. After the committing, the data processing system attempts installation of the second portion, and this attempt occurs automatically in response to successful installation of the first portion.
