    That "Customising Product Catalogue" crap takes ages, but after that the downloads seem no slower than anything else.

    That's because MS needs to be slapped for relying so heavily on Javascript. Windows NT came with IE2, so I tried to go to http://www.microsoft.com/ie to download Active Setup. But it didn't work, because MS put in a bunch of crap that wouldn't work in normal HTML browsers.

    Filburt, you shouldn't be using Windows Update if you are using a pirated version of Win2K.
