Windows 7 Updates - 1 GB Download? WTF?
It's been about a month since I let my laptop update the last time.

Now Windows has 28 updates for my machine.

And the total size of the download was slightly over 1GB.

1 gig!!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone else notice this lately?

Funny you mention it! I just upgraded a PC that I haven't used for longer than a month last night with a graphics card and I had 77 updates when I went to turn it off. I think it took about 30 minutes to update. What the hell is it updating??

You do realize if you buy a fresh windows 8 laptop. It requires over 100 updates to get it to the point where you can finally go to the god forsaken app store and install windows 8.1..... Then you get to install atleast 5-10 more updates at this point... Not that I fucking use that garbage but I have to for customers all day long. :/

Biggest part is the new NSA "person of interest" database.

They switched from suspicious words to suspicious sentences.

Just watch what you type and don't worry.

Slightly over 300 updates for Windows 7 from a fresh install. I re-installed my farther-in-laws laptop from scratch last week.
