At some point people need to take responsibility for their selves and there actions (or inactions).


That is the truth.

Automatic updates are an awesome future that makes it so simple to use.

Given the number of times Microsofts patches have, ummm, well hosed my system, automatic updates are not really the way to go.

I have heard many friends say that they fear the updates.

I personally have never seen this happen, at least in the last year or so. I do remember back in the NT4.0 days with service packs toasting machines but I think Microsoft has done a pretty good job lately.

So you are toast if you do toast if you don't? I guess to me I would wan't to know about the updates but for the majority I think it is just better if it does it without saying a word.

I prefer to know what the updates are before hand.

  I definetely agree with that. my system was just hosed up by a linksys driver, that was some how downloaded to my system. I use a wireless nic to access the net, and I would lose my connection every 5-15 minutes. I finally had todo some detective work, goto the linksys site, and download the old drivers. windows update is a great thing, but all updates should be closely screened before downloaded.
