Yeah, Windows 8 got 4 new updates, two of them are about 80 MB in size. :)

2 of mine are 150 megs in size..350 megs

and some dotnet updates god help us all. Those will take ****ing forever to install.

On Windows 8 it takes ages to install those updates, at least 20 min on my computer, probably even more.

SSD or non SSD? It took a while for an SSD anyway to install them about 5 mins.

Oh dear god, what's with the massive updates? This seals the deal for me, I'm gonna set up WSUS on my network so I don't have to download these things multiple times.

Updates don't seem to be taking that long to install on my SSD. Probably 5mins or so, but we're talking 295-300MB for me so no small install really.

did it take a long time to install the updates on Surface?

Yes, it took a while to update, but it completed ok for me. Using my surface to post these updates :)

Updates done for me, Win8Pro x64 on my desktop. Alls good here, dunno what changes they did with those 2 big updates but it's working like it has when I first installed it.

Anyone notice anything different with the Surface update? Seems a bit zippier but it could be my imagination/wishful thinking

I was shocked at how fast the desktop comes up now...or i that could be my imagination too lol

I'm not sure if it's due to an application I used, or this update, so I'm asking here. (The application was "OblyTile".)

My IE icon on the Start screen is now the metro one, all the time. Previously, the icon would change between the desktop and metro versions depending on whether or not IE was the default browser.

Now, Nightly is my default browser, but the IE icon is still the metro version.

I'm not complaining about this, just curious if something in this batch of patches is the cause.
