I am the OP. i Finally figured out why my Win7 updates were taking like 2+ days. My Internet download speed was 7Mbps and I always thought this speed was pretty good (most downloads seemed okay to me). Now that (I have my first reason to apply all the updates and I am as of this morning running at 520Mbps) I am doing the updates. On my laptop it took 2.5 hours. On my Desktop I figure 1.25 hours (still running). Now that is reasonable for such a large catch up.


So Microsoft might have been a bit smarter to test the download speed and provide a popup if it is slow. The popup would have some suggestions.
