Grumble with Windows Update
Hi all
It's a bit annoying if you have say MS Office 2007 installed on 8 or 9 computers and need to update them.
Windows update makes you go through the rigmarole of downloading say 400 MB for SP1, installing that and then downloading another 400MB or so for SP2 ON EACH INDIVIDUAL MACHINE. (At least I can't find any option - if there is one I'd be greateful to know how to do it).
Windows update just does this. There isn't any option to download the updates to say a network directory and install them later manually.
Even in the age of High speed Internet its a waste to download this stuff every time for each machine.
If there's a piracy problem - the update could always check that both Office and W7 are genuine and have been activated before allowing the update to proceed.
