It's now downloading 218.5 MB of updates.
Christ on a ******* Bike, what is in those damn updates?
I had better check the system I haven't fired up since then...
I did a full reinstall on a laptop yesterday. When I ran Windows Update it told me it was bringing down 96 patches.
I went and did some cooking instead of watching that.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

It gave me a link to download and run something called WindowsActivationUpdate.exe
Dunno what that does but it took its time running.
I hadn't changed any hardware, but I had just upgraded VirtualBox Guest Additions to reflect a new version of VirtualBox. Maybe that triggered something.
Dunno what Windows 7 is up to either. It's just spent a quarter of an hour using 18% CPU doing, er, something...
Ho hum.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
