Well, I on a pure Windows box, you wouldn't have needed to re-install 
just to upgrade from FAT32 to NTFS -- it can be run on a live Windows 
installation.

As to updates, your complaint is why I don't use Windows Update 
except as a tool for indicating what I need. I then follow the 
informational links and download the installers for each of the 
updates I need and keep them. After fully patching a brand-new 
system, I also create an image so that I can restore to that clean 
state if needed.
