Are Windows Updates even necessary? I've tried reviewing each and every Security update available via Windows Update, but I start zoning out when the patches involving random edge cases like spoofed printer drivers. When I re-install Windows 7, and then its updates, I do so out of emotional neuroticism, not a some measured security standpoint. I doubt I am any more secure after the several hour endeavor, though I appreciate Microsoft keeping all the packages available for me. I'll just turn it off.
