I really like playing HL2, but the installation and upgrading prcesses are hopeless. A couple of minutes ago I started HL2 up – the game starts to download upgrades and whatnot. Get a grip and install the upgrades AFTER I finish playing! Microsoft has gotten the idea – the upgrades to windows are installed when you shut down – give me a notice that there are upgrades waiting and let med start playing. How hard can that be?
