Re: [Trisquel-users] Windows 7 and 8 users are starting to disable Windows Update entirely. Yikes.

The funny thing is, even most Windows users should always wipe the OEM image  
and install a vanilla OS. You can't trust an OEM preinstalled Windows setup.  
They are mostly booby-trapped with bloatware, adware, crapware,  
'value-adding' crap, OEM backports and whatnot.
