Default Microsoft updates Windows without users' consent

Val;
This is referring to the part that updates drivers and does not apply to
other updates.

I don't read anything in the EULA portions quoted below that indicates MS
has any right to install updates when one has explicitly opted out of
them.
Continuing on in section 7 the Vista EULA,

. Windows Update Feature. You may connect new hardware to your device.
Your device may not have the drivers needed to communicate with that
hardware. If so, the update feature of the software can obtain the
correct
driver from Microsoft and install it on your device. You can switch off
this update feature.

As a consumer, I would expect that if I do "...switch off this update
feature", I expect it to stay switched off. Period. No quibbling.

It's my computer.
