OK...  Then please explain to me why when I install a fresh copy of
Windows Vista it downloads a bunch of updates...asks me to
reboot....downloads some more updates....asks me to reboot...downloads
some more....  I think the last time I went through the process I had to
go through 4 cycles.

Or, is it only Windows 7 that now eliminates the need to go through the
process?

Thank...
