Why should millions users have to do this millions of times instead of MS
doing it once each time a new patch is released?

When I want an up to date version of Knoppix, I go to www.knoppix.com and
download the latest build. I don't have to fritz around with finding
patches, making slipstream cd's, none of this nonsense. I download an iso
file, click on it and burn a CD, presto I'm current. That is a really nice
advantage over the way it works with Windows.
