Did you see this one? Microsoft comes in like a thief in the night. Here's the link:http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=operatingsystems&articleId=9036058&taxonomyId=89&intsrc=kctop





September 12, 2007 (Computerworld) -- Microsoft Corp. has started updating files on computers running Windows XP and Vista, even when users have explicitly disabled the operating systems' automatic update feature, researchers said today.

Scott Dunn, an editor at the "Windows Secrets" newsletter, said that nine files in XP and Vista -- but not the same files in each operating system -- have been changed by Windows Update, the Microsoft update mechanism, without displaying the usual notification or permission dialog box. The files, said Dunn, are related to the XP and Vista versions of Windows Update (WU) itself.

Mow Green ) in the Thread located at http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=29171 .

Quite interesting reads. I don't think it's a problem for me, but I do feel that the end user should be able to install updates that are better defined!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very interesting to read the articles, thanks for posting them, guys.
