A dumb suggestion, but why doesn't Microsoft hire AOL to include all its recommended patches for Windows on the CD's AOL sends to everyone on the planet? That way users don't have to wait for hours for all the patches downloading on their 28k modems.

Because upgrades to the AOL software come out every few months, whereas (security-related) patches to Microsoft software come out every few days. The supply chain logistics alone would be unreal. ---Rob
