Default Microsoft updates Windows without users' consent

Tim,

I agree with you. I'm surprised MS hasn't put a printed copy of the EULA
right with the software in such a way that in order to use the software the
user would *have* to at least see there is a piece of paper there. Whether
they choose to read it or not is for another thread.

I honestly don't understand all the *itching about MS, and their products.
If you don't like their products, policies, etc., go somewhere else. Nobody
is forcing anyone to "buy" MS products or policies.

And before anyone asks, I'm not "an *ss-kissing MVP" either!
