Why not just update manually?
Get used to logging into five different things if you want to use live. lol, I forgot to even install Live messenger on this HDD yet... I don't think I'll even bother... I'm never on it anyway. If I log on all I get is a bunch of "Hey man! Where have you been? How ya doin? blah blah blah." I pretty much respond with "whatever, shut the fuck up." and log back off. Windows LIVE sucks fucking ass... it's a bloody VIRUS. It spreads from one program and computer to another, infecting and corrupting them with stupid bullshit and complicated 'simplicity.'

Sorry, but every time I so much as think of Microsoft I have that ^ problem.
If you don't even have to mess with windows live by doing a manual download, why not go that route?
