...why I always disable updates.

Yeah, I have to start doing that... Thanks.
In this regard my track record is much better than that of MS.

That's a good one! ;)
there were options discussed in a Windows 10 Privacy thread -- how to block certain updates using a script. This post was about Windows 7 -- following posts may also be helpful!

Thanks for that, I'll have to look into it. I want to remove all these Win10 files and updates. The problem is that MS is making me spending my time doing things I didn't want to spend time on. Why couldn't they just leave me alone? They are turning me from a happy Win7 customer (I just bought a Win7 laptop a few weeks ago) into a grumpy one... I must not be the only one...

My Win 7 computer anti-virus system wanted me to update last night and because I saw the Win 10 update there, I was very careful not to get it. You have to uncheck the box in the Optional update section and right-click on it and choose "Hide" to be sure you don't get it. I stayed up late to monitor what got updated and was very vigilant and ready to stop such a update if it popped up. It is nice to know that all that effort wasn't for nothing.

Big Microsoft Trade-In Deal Gets Users Windows 10 For Less
With the preceding uproar still in mind, is anyone interested in this offer?

Wouldn't you have to load it into a VM anyway? I never hears of Windows running directly on Macs.

May be I misunderstood, but isn't BootCamp one way to run a variety of Windows OS' on Macs?

I was seriously considering it when I thought I could trade in my aging netbook. But though it doesn't seem that there are too many limitations on what they'll accept, mine doesn't seem to qualify. My netbook has a 10" screen, but they accept only a minimum of 11.3" for laptops. :(
