I forgot to mention.. I'm on the same page as you w.r.t AV crappola required 
for Win OS!  I'm sick of it.  I delay the Win7 Security Essentials update 
announcements for as long as I can.  I *hate* being forced to reboot after 
other system updates.  Even the shutdown process forces you to wait as it 
installs stuff, then there is further delay during the actual reboot.

I installed a network driver update one time and all my previous settings for 
wake on lan and mouse/keyboard wake and other things were overwritten.

I generally put my win pcs on hibernate.
