1382407	2014-09-03 06:12:00	Your average Joe at home is hardly likely to know how to do that	gary67 (56)
1382408	2014-09-03 06:45:00	Just slipstream them? As gary67 said, that is not the easiest thing to do. I've done it many times and often get issues with the created image not installing correctly and not all updates can be slipstreamed anyway.	CYaBro (73)

A new win 8 laptop I had here went through about 8GB of my data allowance last month. do you know why? the Windows 8.1 update download to Windows 8 is less than 4GB Also in terms of lengthy updates being a real bugger, would you prefer that your PC isn't getting updates or?	nmercer (3899)
1382412	2014-09-04 00:15:00	is there a difference between installing 1mb x 200 updates vs a 200mb x1 update? There is when you work in a computer business and one of things we check is that the operating system is up to date. More often than not the machine will need to install a 100 or more updates and this takes a long time. Installing a service pack doesn't take as long.	CYaBro (73)

Usually only a couple of hundred MB's. But having to install the 8.1 update is a real pain. Wouldn't want to do too many of those a month.	Renegade (16270)
