If you take another read of what I wrote very carefully you will notice that I said that the 40-60Mb updates WERE SECURITY RELATED! The full update including non-security related came to over 150Mb! Oh and there was no optimized kernal included in those downloads.
Just for the record I do not do helpdesk. Not all support analysts are helpdesk. I am actually part of system services which looks after servers - no user interaction at all.
