I have to say that MS has been pretty good lately making these things known.
But, in almost every such posting I've seen in the  past year, whether for a
minor or major bug, is to upgrade or apply the patches immediately.  Sounds
reasonable at face value.  But how many people read the disclaimers or
license agreements for these patches/upgrades?  It's been documented that
with SP3 for Win2k, the license was changed to allow MS to access your
computer, and change your software without your knowledge.  I have to wonder
if by constantly telling people to upgrade/patch immediately, are they also
telling us we need to accept their latest licenses and whatever new privacy
infringements they may contain?

Just my thoughts on the "upgrade and/or patch" response...  Anyone care to
comment?
