Patching on Windows 7 is just as bad.
I let my Windows 7 PC go several months without updates, because it seems like no matter how many I did, there were always more when I restarted. So I finally had a brief scare with a file (opened up something inside a rar package that was disguised with a .jpg extension but was an exe) and decided I needed to get up to date.
It took a week of updating before my damn computer was done with them. I had over a hundred packages to install, but I wasted several days where they would show as being available, yet when I would try to download them, the progress bar sat at 0% for hours without ever moving.
A few days of googling and trying again, I finally got a few "roll-up" patches to install (which still required leaving the computer alone for 24 hours, mind you), and then I was able to actually get the rest of them to download. Restart and all is well, right? Nope. As soon as they were done and I restarted, I was informed that I had a dozen new ones to grab. Download, install, restart. Rinse, repeat. At least four more times. It was absolutely ridiculous.
