Just put together a new PC, so I'm windows update installing all the fixes (32 Critical Updates and Service packs for the record).  Sweet sassy mollassy is this thing slow.  It's been installing for the past 30 minutes.  I'm worried it has something to do with the PC, but it seems pretty peppy in everything but Windows Update.  The problem is that this machine is for my dad, so I need to make sure it is solid as can be before he takes delivery.  I think I'll download Sandra and run some benchmarks...
