Windows Vista, or "Windows Elastoplast"
I think it's the latter. Every morning when I boot up the computer, it's found MORE updates for Vista. And about every four days or so, it wants to close down to instal them, you know the message, "Windows needs to Close. It will close in 10.00 minutes and counting".
What the hell is wrong with Microsoft if after so long they STILL need patches for what was their flagship o/s?

Comes with the Microsoft territory, like Adobe and Java which are almost as bad.
You've just reminded to to click the update icon in the bottom right of the screen thats been flashing at me for god knows how long. (auto download, but manual install ).
I believe its not just Vista; XP at one point was just as bad (no longer supported now so no more proper updates). Not had the benefit of toying with Win7 yet; got a PC on order due by the end of the month with Win7 installed, so I'll see if thats any better.
Its also depends on what other Microsoft products are installed, as it uses the same update tool. Things like office, bit defender, works, media player, silverlight etc. So the more Microsoft stuff you have installed, the more updates it'll do.
