In summary, "when you install an update, we keep a copy of the old 
version as well as the updated one".

To be completely fair, I've seen Linux package managers that won't 
redownload stuff you've already downloaded once. The difference being, 
presumably there's a way to safely delete the cached content if you want to.

I've always thoroughly disliked Micro$oft's attitude of "if our software 
isn't fast enough, buy more hardware". But since there is precisely 
nothing I can do to change it, it's pointless to complain...
