It's nice to see this list, but the sub-steps for each point should be integrated not external links. They also don't recommend not running as admin, which seems a glaring omission. I'd also like to plug Secunia PSI quickly (I don't work for them): Windows is so painful for updates: every piece of software has their own update mechanism. Some want to uninstall/reinstall. There is no one place to tell them all "go on, download your updates", then "go on, install them all then reboot once". PSI scans your computer then tells you what needs updating.
