Is there a way to get a newer Dell Vista Install Disk?

I did a reinstall and that worked, but the 50 microsoft updates were
painfully slow.

I think it's time Microsoft were forced to send out update disks to
all registered users - *every* time you have to patch something.

They'd soon learn to properly test their buggy ****e.

IF Microsoft had to send out update disks I'd buy stock in disk-making
companies ;-)

Good point.
Just wish Linux was ready for prime time.

Excellent idea. But the world being as real as it is, Microsoft has
set up the next best thing --- Microsoft/Windows update. Of course,
it helps to have a broadband connection. Maybe one day, Microsoft
will be allowed to buy and operate its own communications company
as well as develop it into a monopoly.
