I would have to agree with the sentiment that keeping up to date on your machine is a very good idea. The vast majority of updates deal with security. While Windows updates can be obnoxious, it keeps your computer secure and is well worth using. It can also be made less obnoxious with a few quick settings changes, some of which I've already seen addressed in earlier posts.

And even though it doesn't tell you point blank during the install what these updates are doing, you can have the peace of mind knowing every single update is detailed on their support page. Below is a link to just their most recent update. On the left hand side, you can click on any update going years back to see exactly what the update included. Microsoft isn't trying to hide this stuff, you just need to know where to look. I did a Google search and found it in about 2 minutes.

People in this thread mentioned that their updates take literally days. That is insanity! The only people I know whose updates took that long ended up having major issues with their computer. If your Windows updates are taking a day or more to finish, I'd suggest not blaming Microsoft as there is likely something else happening to cause this. As someone else mentioned, there are millions upon millions of Windows users around the world and if that was the norm, they'd go out of business.
