.NET service pack is disturbing

I installed XP last weekend, and then getting the updates
bit by bit during my provider's off-peak hours.
So latest was the .NET update (KB951847)
I download it, but when it came to the install phase, it
shows no progress for several minutes. This is on a
3.8 GHz with 4 GB DDR2 and SATA2. I really thought it was
froze.
Surely Microsoft developers must test these service packs
and observe that it seems to hang, and perhaps put in
a warning, so end users do not panic?

the " Patch Tuesday Perfect Storm ".

down:

Three are Critical severity
Seven are Important severity
Seven relate to Windows

Thanks for the "heads-up"!

My 2¢: Back up your systems prior to initiating the
Microsoft Windows update process! And never, NEVER,
*NEVER* allow it to automatically update; rather, select
the option to notify you; then, make a decision on whether
to update via the SysTray Icon or simply visit the site
[from your Start menu link] and review the manifests as
well as any Optional updates which may be available.

(A complete image of your [default] C: drive takes about
20-minutes to backup on WinXP[latest], and about 15-minutes
to restore. That's a *lot* less time sometimes than trying
to get any intelligent responses from certain forums which
seem to be abandoned by anyone taking responsibility for
publishing incompetent updates or incomplete information
to accompany said updates.)

HTH.
