I think your assessment is spot on. Since I tend to write about life in the real world and how to cope with all those pesky humans, this fits right in with my own perceptions as well.
Add the shiny factor to this and you have a powerful force for change, whether it's warranted or not.

The deuce you say.

I don't mean that everyone who uses the client side option knows less about databases.

IMHO
If you are / have access to competent DB developers (i.e. you can write or have written good SQL stored procedures, can debug them and, if necessary, measure and tweak performance) then stored procedures are the way to go.
If you are scared of SQL, or are crap at it, have no idea what is efficient or not, can manage a quick select or insert butr quake at the sight of anything more complex, then you might be more comfortable writing C# or VB rather than SQL and let LINQ to SQL manage the SQL code for you.
I am with you on the SP front - I much prefer the separation of concerns - I can have my .Net devs write against what is to essentially an interface, and my DB developers concentrate on the DB.
IF a SP is inefficient, I can tinker with it, and test it independently of any .Net code, and redeploy it without the need to re-deploy any client side code.
With well constructed SPs I can even significantly change the underlying DB structure without worrying about changing any deployed .NET code.
And if it is more efficient to mangle the data in the application, I can still have an SP return a record set and use LINQ to POCO to do the mangling.
My first use of SPs was entirely due to security of the DB - access to which was restricted entirely to stored procedures, so even giving someone access to the DB server still only gave them access to the SPs - they couldn't even see the tables - let alone try to update them.

Since Windows 7, when you run a disk cleanup and select Windows Update Cleanup (mostly after the service pack installation). It takes at-least an hour to cleanup. I can download and install the same update 10 times in that time.
Windows 8.1 just updated with today's launch. and I performed disk cleanup to free up 450 MB of disk space on 5 different computers, and it took 1.0 - 2.5 hours to cleanup with > 70% CPU utilization. 
When you run disk cleanup, it scans your computer and then tells you how much space it is going to free. So I am guessing it creates some king of list. So why it takes to long to loop through the list and remove the files.

I've wondered about this and figured that they are doing a lot of checking and ACID type operations to make sure they don't brick the system if power is lost.

But the update is already applied, this is the cleaning process of temporary setup files, right?
|
|
|
|
|
It has to scrub the uninstall data from various places and what if one update is dependent on another update?
This is just one theory.
Do remember that Microsoft isn't known for it's speedy installs.

Update Cleanup? What's that? I never have run it, because the first thing I do is turn off automatic updates.

They probably create a restore point before deleting each file.
