notes of Windows 7 install

Over the weekend, an install of Windows 7 as a guest in virtualbox went smoothly. However, after a few hours of use, upon shutdown over 100 updates needed to be applied. A message warned not to force a shutdown, so the laptop needed to sit over an hour waiting for the updates. I have not tried slipstreaming Windows 7 but may need to investigate that option next time. An article about slipstreaming Windows 7 is published at PC World. It looks like a rather involved process however.

1 - Why Windows? Linux is better. ;o)

2 - I'd be curious about slip streaming, too.

3 - Windows 8 had a ton of updates and those were before 8.1 came out. Maybe it's more up to date now?

4 - Given that you know it's going to take a while, why update them all at one time?
