Why Windows is a Security Nightmare
http://www.techuser.net/index.php?id=47

"I am not saying Microsoft should not do what is doing, but it should focus on
the more important things first. For the short term the correct approach is to
fix Windows Update so that users aren't forced to connect to a network to get
security updates. Windows update should encourage users to create a Windows
Update CD that contains all the security updates the user has downloaded so
far. The CD should contain a setup routine that is capable of installing all
the updates in an automated fashion without requiring user intervention.
Inevitably, when the user downgrades he/she can use that CD to update the
system, and then connect to a network to download any further updates. Such a
CD should be shareable amongst users, so that if someone doesn't have an update
CD, he/she can simply get one from a friend or an acquaintance."
