Kind souls or unkind.... anyone can find bunch of pirated CD's with those
updates if they are old ones.. And for low end, low activity, low
metabolic activity, low power, desktop users, or even for normal users,
updates are not as frequent as for the hign end, high powered high
activity users whole metabolic activities increases on every update that
comes out.

Connectivity issues are an addition to the excellent infrastructure we
have and abundence of ignorance about latest things.

You need good connectivity to handle the load of information you have to
be up to date with, which is not very common with the normal
users. Remember about that 60Kb attachment recently?
