When one doesn't know that asking to "Check for Updates" makes
one a "seeker," then MS is being tricky. This point is obvious
in the response of a number of authors to learning what makes one
a "seeker" and warning their readers. I sure didn't know that
just asking for what I thought was the most current non-beta
updates would turn me into a "seeker."

It's much more than Microsoft. Many times, in almost all forums when
folks ask for help when reporting problems(o/s, browser, malware, etc.),
replies recommend or ask if Windows is updated - inevitably turning the
questioner and others into another 'seeker'

The term 'seeker' while a relatively recent term the practice of feeding
feature updates via 'Check for updates' isn't recent.
i.e. folks were/became seekers before the term was ever introduced.
