Peter,
I agree even though I would have used different language. I'm about
ready to dump windows. The only reason that I keep it is because of my
games. My hardware doesn't support windows 8. Because of the programs
that I run, it will cost me about $2500 to upgrade my hardware. How long
would a car manufacturer be in business if they said, oh, by the way we
have come out with some new what ever and your car won't work any more.
A hundred old car works on the existing infrastructure.
Thanks,
rich!

The first thing it wants to install is the "Windows Genuine Advantage"

This is bullshit. Why do I want software which is always using
processing power
and memory to keep checking if I have a legit copy of Windows? Like it
changed
to a pirated version overnight or something? I don't want that corporate
crapware on my system. It gives me absolutely no "advantage" whatsoever.

Hmm, Windows Update is temporarily (?) broken, at least for some people:
Automatic updates seem to be working though.
