I think this one re-defines the phrases "tin ear" and "tone-deaf" when it comes to "what do my customers want?".

The last thing I want is my computer updating itself outside my control.

And as for those promised "other software innovations", well, I've seen "innovations" that made my hair curl. It was not a pretty sight.

I made sure everything I wanted to work works.

Then I shut off all automajik updates.

Not just on windoze, but on all OSs I run.

If it works, why update it?

I watch the network to make sure I don't need any security updates. And I generally don't.

It ain't broke. I ain't fixing it.
