Saturday, May 15, 2010 11:36 AM
Found a good article over on Nathan's blog detailing how to patch with the WUA client, Windows 2008 server core.

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 10:59 AM
We just added up the patch sets for August 2009 to 1.3GB. Holy cow that is a lot of content to be pushing out for patching. Little bit of looking and you'll discover that the main culprit is Visual Studio. We've seen this before for SQL patches, but the size of the patches for Visual Studio are just stupidly huge.
