All software does not need updating. Windoze users don't update all their software all the time. You can choose which app to update if bandwidth doesn't allow. With apt (and yum?) the dependancies choose themselves. It's only when you upgrade something big like OOo or Gnome or KDE that you need 100s of Megs. If you compare that with windows, you simply can't upgrade the UI :)
The roadblock is probably that apps change much too often in GNU/Linux.

Music downloads (from P2P) are illegal. Does anybody care? ;)
