The system is broke but it's the only system we've got?

Just went through the process of installing Microsoft's brand new .Net Framework 3. The process took half an hour including download, installation and reboot, then just before the process was to complete came the admonition to visit microsoft.com for updates and additional features. Remember, this new programme was released just days ago, if they thought it needed retooling why did they release it. You've got to love a company that is so sure their product is going to break down they build the update process directly into the installation process.
