This morning I got a message from Microsoft that I needed to download a critical update (Windows 2000). This happens every so often and isn't a big deal, but today's download was 31MB. Even with my 1MB broadband connection it took a while to download and install this update. I figure if I was still using my old 56kb/sec modem I'd have started at 6am and finished around midnight.
{And, yes, I do run my updates regularly. It was only last week that I scanned for updates and there were none.}
I can't help thinking that a 31MB download is sheer laziness. Microsoft just couldn't be bothered cutting this monster down to size.
Anyway, downloading and installing this delayed the Newshound this morning. Thanks, MS.
