The Furrygoat Experience - Annoyance: Software Updates As steve says, updating software sucks, and is one of the reasons I install less and less of it. I’m surprised MSFT hasn’t seen the business opportunity here – they have the scale and infrastructure to handle update delivery and install for all Windows apps – they should run the update service for all ISVs (and of course charge them a modest fee for the service – this is worth something to ISVs and users). I’d sure rather have just one updater running on my machine rather than the billions of them that try to run now.
