    WOW, so Microsoft goes with their amazing skills of showing everyone how awesome they are at making themselves look like a bunch of fools. I'll start with the worm update. Yeah, they had a bunch of guys in their research department messing around with a worm to make an installer, so it would just go into your system and update everything without you even knowing.... They of coarse denied that they had any plans to incorporate the idea, but who knows

    Next, for the Vista SP1 update process. Apparently it required a certain update before hand, and if your didn't have it, the update process would grab it for you and do everything needed. However, the problem started there, for some users is would stick on that part, and one person submitted that it would just get stuck in a continuous process, failed on that part, then rebooted, then continued in that order.
