Like millions of Microsoft customers , I like Home windows 7. It seems we like it more than buy microsoft software online does. I say this because, for months now, it's taken hours and hours and hours to install patches.
Woody Leonhard's November 4th article "How to speed up Windows 7 Update scans?aforever" has the gory details on how Home windows 7 users can get sub-calendar response time when installing bug fixes.
Woody points out that cheap windows 7 has an improved edition of Home windows Update, a single that takes a reasonable amount of time to run, but it is not installed by default. Of course it isn't. Even knowing about it, seems to be restricted to those who read the Woody on Windows column in InfoWorld.
But just knowing about it isn't enough. Windows 7 users can't just install the fast variation of Windows Update. It requires one more patch be installed first, and, comes packaged with other software program that may break stuff. It's complicated, and, thankfully, Woody does a great job explaining the pretzel you have to twist into to put in the good variation of cheap office 2013 professional plus Update.
