Does the Windows Update site suck?
It often stalls, or is just plane slow. One minute its fine, the next it dies for 20 minutes after downloading some updates. Then I have to restart. And to think, this company wants us to tie our PC's to them like terminals over the Internet.

I dislike crap like 'windows update' because if I have to resinstall windows, you have to re-download everything again!
Screw that!!!

It just took me 5-6 minutes to download and install 1 XP update and 1 Driver update (1.1 MB). I have a cable modem!

I have Road Runner. Windows Update used to run really fast. Like just a couple minutes to get everything. But lately its slow and dies. But I agree, out in the field, it sucks when a customer doesn't have broadband. I carry IE on a CD. Then I just get the critical updates. Not worth the wait to get anything else.

Oh hell yes I am with you guys on this! I haven't been able to update my systems for a while now because their update feature sucks. I think sometimes technology needs to stop advancing in certain areas. The ftp updates were great and easy! They don't even offer that anymore do they?
