This is something I always do when I get a 'new' computer.  And usually
they are so old the update available is the last ever :)  I always boot
into Windows download the update, and run it.
Then, I insert my GNU disk (that is a pun btw) and replace Windows.  The
hardest part is booting into Windows... it always takes so long to do
anything, but that is usually because they are so full of viruses that
the person was convinced it was broken, or too slow.

This is a good point to remember.  We should encourage Windows users to
update their BIOS before installing.  It was an issue I learned the hard
way about 4 years ago when I had a laptop that I had to install XP on
after a newer kernel decided to stop ignoring my broken BIOS. :)
