M$ Update is great and works fine as long as you are on broadband. If your not, it takes hours to update your system from a clean install - IF the end server doesnt end up zapping your connection.
One of my clients are in this exact situation - they are on dialup simply because their business is in the sticks and there is no broadband avaliable. They got hacked into a few weeks ago because of these bugs and holes - the solution instead of serious money (compared to dialup), is to simply install Linux everywhere for them, and put Windows into a "clean room" implentation with VMWare...
Moral: M$ Update only works if you have the resources - otherwise your screwed and YOU WILL SUFFER!
