This sucks because it shows that Microsoft has the capability to do this without virtually anyone knowing. That is scary. A firewall wouldn't have blocked this either because most likely it would have looked just like any other Windows Update connection.]]>Sep 13th 2007 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/I blame Ballmer for lots of it though... ]]>Sep 13th 2007 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/Sep 13th 2007 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/Sep 13th 2007 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/Sep 13th 2007 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/windows-update-pushes-out-stealth-updates-microsoft-explains/
All of us who use Windows want the updated - 'cuz they need to keep fixin' the stuff that still doesn't work. We want the patches, security updates, fixes, etc... we just want to know WHAT and WHEN they happen, and to give permission so that if something does stop working right, we'll have some freakin' clue where to start looking.

On the OTHER hand - too many of you guys are way to paranoid. You and all your conspiracy theories! Seriously - I know you don't have girlfriends already, but acting like a room full of dorks doesn't help the cause. ]]>Sep 13th 2007 7:34PM
