I have ~110 updates on my Win7 Home Premium, and 43 of them are for
Defender, so that leaves 67. Only half of the 135 claimed by Jon. And the
service pack isn't scheduled to be released until June/July, which is about
the same time frame as the previous versions of Windows. I personally don't
see what the big deal is with the number of updates as long as any problems
are fixed. I install them when I'm reminded, and have never had a problem
since upgrading to Win95 from Win3.11 and subsequent versions.
