Okay I know I rant about Windows 10 updated taking long but I forgot how long XP updates take! I got Windows Updates to work by pasting a link into IE. I'm installing 24 NET updates and one system update. It's been four hours and it's only on 14.
I've got the Netbook running pretty sweet. Turned off a bunch of unneeded services, defragged (I hadn't done that since 2010.) Made a static page file and the difference in speed is dramatic. I solved my browser issue too. I've got some more work to do on the Vista Desktop. It's already up to date.
