Actually I have just re read your comment and I agree with you, much better to decide when to install updates yourself.

Aside from the multiple times M$ has been caught data mining through updates there's also busted updates that crash machines, that 'please restart to install updates' thing that can cause problems all by itself not to mention being annoying as hell, hidden files to check for OS validity, calls home that leave machines vulnerable to exploitation. Not to mention 99.9999% of the updates are useless. They just aren't needed. Wasted space that cause more harm than good. Unless you're an IE user, cause fook knows if you are an IE user you need all the patches you can get.

Cause they don't know any different. It's the same reason you get people using Norton/McAffee/AVG. All proven to be terrible products that eat resources like monsters eating babies and have way sub-par detection rates, but people know the name of the brand. So they get recommended based on that.
Or even funnier, with antivirus, they get recommended because they 'remove viruses every week without fail'. People don't seem to realize that if you're getting viruses every week you're doing something incredibly wrong and probably have some kind of trojan/downloader that the AV isn't picking up, which leads to wondering (by people that know what they are talking about) what other nasty things are lurking on the system.

Funny you should say that about the antis that pick up viruses week after week. I had the same discussion last week with a mate who could not see that if he was getting that many viruses there was something very wrong with his protection. Horses and water.
