Re: The isps need to block by default.

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.
