delete the offending software and not use it again.

I think the best practice is to notify the user there is an update with
the option to install immediately or later. The check is automatic but
the install is still user controlled. Also, this is more of an issue
with Windows boxes and I do not know about Macs. Linux users can often
set up a repository or use their official repository for updates.

Hi Jean,
Not sure I understand what you mean. Silent updates are usually... Silent.
How can people tell whether they like it or not?
Companies are a different topic, and OF COURSE you would be able to turn it
off. Not even debatable :).

Hi,
I've seen a lot of browsers recently moving towards silent updates.
I was wondering whether this could be a relevant approach for LibreOffice
or not.
Indeed I've seen many people complaining about LibreOffice features, UI
etc. While using LibreOffice 3.4... Of course the first advice is "just
upgrade" but for people I doesn't seem like such a good think to do, just
like it somewhat scares them. I'm pretty sure that happens with at least
half of our userbase.
What do you guys think? I think this would improve the overall quality of
our userbase making sure that almost everyone has the very last stable
version, with all the fixes and improvements it brings.
Plus, for once we wouldn't be copying MS Office...

If it's an option the user can choose, that can be a good move. If
it's not an option, it would be a VERY BAD move. Many people hate
silent updates, and many companies will not allow them. I'll accept
the option being the default, as long as it's easy to turn off.
