When did you last see a Windows or Office update
available on disc?

In my experience (especially in places where Internet access 
to the home is "tight" or non-existent), Windows and Office 
is normally used in the office, where Internet access is 
"not as tight".

If folk have Windows or Office on their laptops, they'll 
take those laptops into the office and run updates from 
there. If they're using PC's at home, they'll download the 
offline copies of those updates and go home and install them 
via disc, USB or whatever.

Game consoles don't normally "make it to the office", hence 
my point earlier.
