... who TURNS OFF updates is a frickin' moron. Now, if you're on a corporate network, with sysadmins who push the updates to everybody on their own schedule, that's one thing.

I'm not one to side with Microsoft normally, but I haven't seen many real changes to how Windows Update works since what, Win95? Security changes, WGA checks, yes. Not really in how it works though.
This is patent trolling and I hope they get their butts handed to them on a silver platter.
