    It doesn't take 5 hours... how do you know anyway?

    You can work normally with computer when:
    • Downloading the stuff
    • Installing the stuff
    The last step asks you to reboot and configures the stuff. Takes maybe 15 minutes to complete.

    I personally don't do anything on my computers when downloading or installing SP-1 or any other Windows Updates. I don't want anything to interfere with the process. Knock on wood; I don't have update problems.
    It takes however long it takes but I have never got even close to 5 hours.

    Question, your specs show no Anti Virus Program. WHY?

    On domain joined computers I have observed that it takes approx 5 hours to install. I am using offline installer of sp1.

    I have observed this becuase i have manually updated approximately 2 dozen systems

I'm not sure if this has been posted or not, but I felt like bringing it up. It seems to me Windows 7 could be a service pack. I have tried the vista sp2 beta and it is nothing like windows 7 7000. One thing that makes me think it might be a service pack is the mojave experiment. I think MS is...
