I have zero experience with Windows, so I don't know how painful it is
what you describe.
That, in particular, would be solved by having a somewhat recent
flash image like you mentioned earlier. What he's describing would
be akin to having to install Ubuntu Dapper and then having to patch
your way up to Feisty Fawn, or similar. Generally not a danger, but
it certainly takes a long time.
With the added joys of having to authenticate your software, download
a new copy of dpkg/apt-get, reboot three times, re-authenticate your
licence, phone Microsoft when you fail authentication, reboot and
wait an hour while all the patches install.
