    Oh sorry, 'vanilla' is a generic term for 'as out of the box' and only basic, standard functions - meaning you change really nothing. The term is often used in the IT world. I guess vanilla ice cream is the most common and basic ice cream. That is probably where it came from.

in Windows Updates & Activation

Is it just me or does it take several GB, even tho the downloaded update is less than 100MB? I've seen some ways to delete the temporary files or something afterwards, but this is really something Microsoft needs to do automatically. Why would a user need to bother with this?
