Windows Updates

Why have they changed Windows updates ?

Now you choose either a security only or a monthly roll up one. The previous way was better than this confusing nonsense. Which moron at Microsoft decided on this ?

From the windows 10 thread

various bits and pieces about it sourced from askwoody or infoworld

The worst is security fixes have been found in the non-security ones
Risk not downloading everything?

I chose the security only update at 52.5mb. It accepted the installation alright anyway. What's been patched i've no idea ? Internet Explorer 11 KB twaddle has changed to a different number in the about box so i assume that's it. In any case i use Firefox instead of that screwed up crappy browser.
