W. Update V5 ~ causes HANG and fails

Hey is it just me or does the new Windows Update version
5 cause the OS to hang? I've tried this version on
several machines (10 or 15) and in every instance (except
one) it caused my machine to hang indefinately forcing me
to power off the machine and avoid Windows Updates all
together. What's the point. Also I noticed in V5 that
the complete list of updates is spread out over several
pages....ugh. For what it's worth I prefer one long list
as apposed to having to bounce between multiple pages.

Anyone else having problems with V5?

Thanks

YES! It took forever to process (DAYS!!!) I finally shut it down and powered
up. It appeared to be okay, but IE would never load. Then the next time I
booted up, I only got my WALLPAPER! Ctrl+Alt+Del loaded Task Manager (only
possible option.) Restart from there actually loaded user list and the
desktop loaded. But IE still wouldn't work. Uninstall programs from Control
Panel would only flash on screen. Only choice was to reload from CD. That's
my second bad experience with a major MS Update in the last year (thank you
very much!). I will no longer run WU on my personal computer.
