The problem with an addendum CD, apart from it being out of date after a month, is getting it to the smaller shops. Sure online retailers like Dell should be fine as they can just chuck in the latest addendum CD when the computer is shipped. What about the small independant PC shops who buy their PCs through wholesalers? Unless you have a massive operation sending out several copies of the latest addendum CD every computer shop in the country every month you are still going to have the same problem.
