Re: Useless...
We run a few VMs here, mostly Linux but the odd Windows one is powered up for testing - usually after having been off for a month or two. When I've done my testing and come to power down the Windows VM (Windows 7 currently) I invariably have to wait half an hour for the patches it's been busily downloading in the background to finish installing. It's got to the point where I have to remember not to shut it down at the end of the day, otherwise I'm hanging around for it to finish...
