One of my colleagues was complaining this week that a Vista service pack
is something like a gigabyte (and her ISP doesn't have free mirrors) of
download in one hit. Ouch.
Sounds outrageous! I had a peek on the Microsoft website for the Vista
services packs. SP1 is about 440 MB and SP2 is about 350 MB. Ouch!
Apple has similar offerings, perhaps 500 MB every four months.
Comparatively, the debian box I am caring for needs maybe several
100 MB of updates in a year.
Apples and oranges, though, since the deb box is not running X. Just plain
old shells. Bliss!
cheers
