Yeah, see, on the one hand, Windows Update needs to let me know if it's wanting to modify itself - otherwise, there's no point at all to having the option of turning it off. Turning it off means that I don't WANT it to update itself - which is futile if it's just gonna go ahead and do it anyway.
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.
