Windows 7: Gates must be SOOOOOO hard up..........
Bought BRAND NEW 'puter yesterday, Windows 7 64 bit installed.
Turned it on this morning, it has already found, and apparently NEEDS 76 updates
Why the hell does this guy keep rushing out operating systems that are only half finished? 76 patches after one day is ludicrous.........

I re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate and it took nearly 5 hours to update to the latest patches/updates, I'd rather have 'shiney shiney' that being the case.
Don't get me wrong I like Windows 7 and I think it's a good OS, but it's like a screaming child that needs constant attention.

From what I have noticed Windows7 updates are normally security based.
Unfortunately when you have an OS that is this popular that is what happens.
If your "other" OS's had the footprint and the enticement by the "unwashed", you would experience the same issues. It's logical.
Steve,
Windows 8 will be in the same boat in the future..... no need for security patches yet. No ****** is using it for it to be a target!

ms just send out the OS, it's the manufacturers that don't give a stuff about updating most recent service packs. after that, they're mostly security patches.
I hate to defend windows 'n all.
macs are slightly better, in that you will get the latest 'service pack'. you still have to download the other, mostly security, patches.

oh yes, give mr gates a break - he's not really involved with ms these days and he's given away billions of dollars. he's also convinced others to give away billions too... apart from sphincter steve jobs. great products, but a selfish billionaire.

ive got quite a selection of Dell OEM CDs from XP thru to XP SP3 heh
and exactly as CrewJ said
If you at least go for the latest SP 1st, it will cut out alot of the individual updates ;/
