Some software (Windows XP included) offer the option to check for updates and notify me without downloading or installing the updates. That's what I want. I want to control when I actually update because my background in configuration management means that I log the changes -- files and Windows registry -- to my configuration. It means that I record the new version in my configuration summary. It also means that I update the list of spoofing UAs in my PrefBar installation when I get a new version of SeaMonkey. Etc, etc. For all this, it means that I want to stop doing anything else before I update and that I disable my Internet connection after the download but before the update (which is why I submitted bug #340330). -- David E.
