Microstuff Windows Headache!

You know, why can't Microsoft make updating windows easier? Everytime you wish to update windows, you have to use their windows update program which takes FOREVER to verify what updates your windows needs or whether the windows update PROGRAM itself is up to date! Pretty daft isn't it?

Now, presuming that you've survived the windows update verification stage, you can finally download the updates. But that is IF it works in the first place. Sometimes the update program hangs and you're stuck with a "preparing to download" message till you finally realise that all hopes of updating windows is lost.

So... in order to encourage more people to update windows regularly, Microsoft should follow in the footsteps of Symantec's Norton AntiVirus (NAV) software. NAV no doubt has their own autoupdate software but they also give you the option of downloading their latest virus definition updates on their website. So no matter how out of date your antivirus software is, all you need to do is download ONE file and it'd automatically equip you with the latest virus defnition updates. Simple isn't it? Microsoft should follow suit and it'd probably prevent thousands of computers from being hacked simply because people couldn't or were too lazy to patch their windows.

*Cough*

Alright, enough with the ranting! TGIF everybody!!!!!!! :D
