How long should this update take to download and install? I started
"Check for updates" on my personal laptop about 4 hours ago and I've
still got the "updates are being installed" dialog on my screen,
though the progress bar is all the way to the right. How long should
I give this before canceling the update? I'm using a DSL broadband
connection so it might take a while to download the update.

It took me a little bit more than 20 minutes to install it on a Win XP
SP2 machine connected with ADSL at 320 KB/sec (that is 512 up- and 3072
Mbit/sec download speed).
BTW, I did *not* disable MSI rollback functionality.
