Patches either need to be of a size that a dialup user doesn't have to
be dialed in for 24 hours to download and install them.  Or .iso's
should be available for ISP's to download, turn into CD's and
distribute as appropriate. Wouldn't that be nice for a dialup user -
getting Windows Update on a CD-ROM from their ISP?

It shouldn't be just windows update which of course doesn't patch office
etc., it should be a fully automated cd that the user pops in and it
autoupdates ALL MICROSOFT PRODUCTS that are installed and it should do it
without asking for the stupid office CDs..
