    This is why I wait until the 1st service pack before I get any Microsoft product...'tis quite unfortunate. Why couldn't they put it all in the Gold release of the software?

    I get 600KB/s from microsoft ... i laugh at 20 MB! I don't see the big deal, what's wrong with a little download?

    For those of us who are still on 56K connections than 20MB is still a rather large download. Fortunately for me I can connect up at my work's T1...but others don't have the luxury. My mani complaint is that the software has only been out since Thursday, and already there are critical updates. I guess it just kinda bugs me that they couldn't up that stuff in the original release.
