What I noticed is that it would partially install updates that which
would need a reboot to complete, try and fail to install any subsequent
update that was dependent on the pending ones, then reboot and start the
process over again. Ultimately it managed to get things sorted out though.
The original install always shut off the USB ports when updates were
downloaded and pending installation. Thankfully that behavior is now
gone. It was damn annoying but I assumed it was intentional.

The fresh install of Vista has proven to be much better than what I was
using before. It has literally spent days downloading and applying
updates and I'm still not sure it is done - it will report "no new
updates" and then an hour later ask to install the 32 updates it just
downloaded...
Vista made a list somewhere of all the updates that were available at
the time you began installing updates. You can have hundreds of updates
you still need to install, but Micro$oft hasn't released any new ones
that weren't previously on Vista's Windoze Update list.
Also, my experience with Vista is that it chokes when you let it try to
install too many updates at once.
It will download 32 updates, but 30 of the installations will fail.
Seems like maybe because the 3rd update it tries to install needs
something from the 20th update on the list, and once the 3rd craps out
none of the others is going to install.
I ended up having to go to "select which updates to install", sorting
the list by date and only installing the oldest ones. Depending on their
sizes, you might be able to do 5 or 6 at a time.
