f0dder:
Hm, that sounds slightly nasty.

mitzevo:
This is some bullshit, luckily people are not dumb (well non-dumb people), and there are (better) alternatives to M$.

Josh:
Too bad none of those alternatives are even ready for mainstream use.

I really dont consider this a big deal. As long as they arent patching OS components without telling me, thats fine. Automatic updates patching on its own is fine because in the end, its only helping users stay up to date. But I guess this is a case where microsoft is wrong (not in my eyes) for trying to do something that IS useful.

mitzevo:
Too bad for you and/or your mainstreams ;) I would happily make the switch to *nix permanently.  I bet a lot of people feel the same ;D
