[HQuest]

Just received, via Windows Update, 8 updates for my Office 2010 64-bit, 7 for my Win7 x64 and another one for Visual Studio 2010, something Office-related.

A total of 16 important updates, 208.7Mb total.

Waiting for install to complete, usually I have no patch issues, hope today's are no different.

On my two systems I had 7 for Office 2010 that did not require a restart and 7 for Windows 7 that required a restart. I did the Windows 7 updates and then restarted. Then I did the Office 2010 updates and all went clean on both systems. I used Macrium to do an image before and after the updates as is my normal procedure. I believe in safety first. I wear a belt and suspenders.

I stole that line from Justin Wilson the Cajun story teller. He was a Safety Engineer and started telling Cajun jokes during his safety seminars.

I used Macrium to do an image before and after the updates as is my normal procedure.

Similar story here.
I always create Macrium images before applying the MS updates.

I use the monthly MS updates as an opportunity to back up my important files (Ubuntu, XP, W7, Programs, Documents & Pictures).

Updates? UPDATES??

I don't need no stinkin' updates!!!



(Now where did I put that installation disk?)

Those patch Tuesdays are a pain in the neck. I'll never try to update on Tuesdays any longer but wait a few days. The MS server seems totally overworked and stressed.
Prior to Dec 12 i had to update W7 on my Acer laptop since the hard disk was replaced by Acer and W7 newly installed by Acer (i had it in English but they installed the language version of the country where the repair was done. Damn it).
Anyway, there was still something fishy with the computer so i decided to throw everything off again and install the
OEM which then needed an enormous amount of updates. I did day after day. On Dec. 12 i decided to download the Service Pack 1 for x64 sysytems (something like 80 MB). I tried Dec 12, 13, 14 and either i broke it off myself or the installation failed. In total 7 times! It looks like downloading the newest updates has priority. Everything else is put on hold.
On Dec 15 i finally succeeded. But........ when i checked with disk cleanup there was more than 900 MB of temporary files. Probably leftovers from the failures since nothing else was done with the computer. Rather strange, i would say. Why would so much remain after those failures/break-offs? After all the SP1 update was only 80 MB.
