Nah, there have been controversial updates ever since the second month or so. Actually, when did HP launch, last June? I remember the first controversial update I saw was the introduction of the Virus Breaker in July, then the big AP update near the end of July, the virii collection counter in August, and now Revelation. There might be some others I missed too.
Don't forget the creation of the software store... But my point still stands, but double-digit ids were gone in a day or two, so it still took a while until they came seemingly.
