Do you feel the same way considering that one of the options is to send
to or receive from only "PCs on my local network"?

I totally agree about the "and PCs on the Internet" aspect of the
feature, but within my LAN it seems somewhat reasonable.

I currently have the feature enabled, but the sub-feature "PCs on my
local network" is selected, rather than the second option that includes
"and PCs on the Internet".

Thoughts?

When I attempted to test this, it didn't work, and
one PC would not "take" updates from the second PC.

I love features that have a mind of their own.

I had the same problem.
I read a blog a while back that stated it was microsoft's
decision. You could prevent them using your machines, but
their decision TO use your network for your machines was
not encouraged when you allowed it.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the use of update
managers and the unknown state of other machines and
our penchant to delete update sources to save space
rendered that ineffective.
