I figure that this biggest effect of this will be to allow users to be online, get email and such while incrementally dl'ing the patches... some of these hotfixes are 6mb, and an impatient user will kill it every time, as well as being pissed that they could do nothing else during that time.

if it takes them all day to get it, so be it. Otherwise they'd have to drive into the office to install it, or have someone mail a cd to them.
