Oh, and in that last batch I didn't install 905474 (Windows Genuine Advantage Notification). Is this going to give me problems with future updates?

No this will not affect your updates in any way at the moment, although M$ rate this update as 'critical' it is not IMO. Windows Update uses WGA to ensure your OS is legit when you visit the site, the WGA Notification tool is a waste of KB, and bandwidth as it phones home to M$ once installed - you can block it with your firewall or remove it manually or with a tool (the tool I used only removes it on legit versions of the OS). I had it installed, and then removed it for this very reason. This update is also
beta at the moment which you are not told when you update. They change the version monthy (near enough), so you may get asked about it again.
