78541	2002-09-11 11:59:00	ok, i just downloaded IE6sp1 all 24meg of it (full ver otherwise a mere 11meg), only to find i have 6 meg of updates still to on windows update site.........arghhhhhhh :_| opera is only 3.5meg (java another 9meg) for the whole darn thing. can anyone explain WHY ie is so bloated? like what does all the huge amount actually do? with the huge amount of windows,office, ie updates pcworld would need a cd just for them ..........now there's an idea.....bruce! cricky i would even pay for a cd of all the updates for all of the os's and office updates. does MS supply one at all? is there a way i could join all the updates into windows (like the XPsp1 slipstream iso's) so it would install them all in one go?	tweak'e (174)
