Patch Tuesday updates are now live and Surface owners get a new firmware and a performance rollup patch. Applying right now on my surface, hope to report back soon if I see anything changed.

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

[Buendia]

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.

DotNet updates for Win 7 as well and yeah they take forever there too!

I was stuck at Update 1 of 8 for a long time

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.

I just ran a check and I have 10 updates to install, downloading them right now.

Regular HDD.

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.

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

[GP007]

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.
