WSUS

I recently upgraded my perfectly adequate NT4.0 server (200MHz CPU & 128M RAM, 28M in use) to a Win2000 Advanced Server (2x PIII 933MHz, 512M, 300M in use) so as to run WSUS 2.0

Total pain and more like a beta. However, if it works my 9 x XP and 2 x W2K will only be one set of downloads centrally managed. But why is a "mature" service like this so broken and awkward to use?
