Fair point, the old school service packs and hotfix rollups were cool. But I think that sort of enthusiasm towards updates ended with XP, at least it did for me, because I switched to Linux permanently after Windows 7 came out.

The only Windows update that made me “eagerly await” is the Windows XP SP2.

I never did. I did wait eagerly for new .NET releases, though.

....No. And those were not good days, unless your definition is fun is reinstalling OS
