[QUOTE="Ken Bouchard, post: 590851, member: 58857"] However for older systems, it does much better, because #1 you get most updates thus avoiding that windows update is a huge resource hog. #2 that it can be saved to a flash drive, cell phone, or even a external hdd. So you can save countless hours being able to deploy it to any computer. Since internet can be slow or non existant. If your a computer consultant, or it guy this is really a must have. Saving so much time. It saves your options, so I check every box of the what to get. I then let it do the updategenerator. You can run it on say a desktop with fast internet. Then copy the folder to your flash drive. It is that simple. You could even do windows scheduler and a script to do this automagically. Or at least simply schedule updategenerator. There is a command line option to have it start the update on execution. The whole idea is to not have to interact with windows which is a PITA, and you can restart windows when YOU feel like it. Not when Windows wants to which it so often does without your asking. I also like the fact that you get to see what is happening, which Windows update never shows unless you manually check it. So for new windows installs its wonderful, and then after it has installed all the updates, you just turn on Windows update, which will only see new updates and driver updates. [/QUOTE]
