Updates: grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence

[Ivan Avery Frey]

Sorry for this delay and this off topic followup on this thread.

Some ideas for short circuiting the Windows update process. I suspect that 
Windows Update is rather stupid. It appears that updates are downloaded and then 
the service pack is downloaded which includes all the updates you've just applied.

So if you know that the Windows you're installing is a service pack or two 
behind, I would suggest disabling Windows Update after installing Windows, 
download the service packs manually and install them; then turn Windows update 
back on.

Ivan.
