I think you need to reread the news story. This is not about what happens to people who are set to accept automatic updates. This is about people who have set their computers to "NO." The story says that MS is ignoring the "NO" setting and modifying your computer anyway. To MS "NO" does not mean no. (I guess this is not news.) ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
