Once again. The update won't install itself without you knowing about it and telling it to. Worst it would do is just sit there looking at you. So you could have gone on just fine with not actually installing it. Which, rather, is exactly what I'm about to do until a proper bug fix release hits the download servers.

Well my GF didn't even actively download the update. It just said "settings, 1 item. When we looked, we discovered that it had been downloaded at some point, perhaps when her phone was idle. I wonder how much longer it would have just sat there before it went ahead and installed itself. Apple should be a bit more careful doing stuff like that to people.

It's the extra space that automatically-downloaded stuff takes up on the device that makes me a bit uncomfortable. As i pointed out somewhere else, I first had to download IoS7 and then install it. There was no "automatic" factor in my experience. however, if folks are getting automatic 3-gig downloads without asking for them, then it leads me to wonder if there's a setting that one could disable for doing this. > > Teresa >> On Sep 26, 2013, at 12:58 PM, Christopher Chaltain <chalt...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> except you're not actually being forced to update Windows XP. You can run it forever, you just won't get support from Microsoft for it. I don't think that's unreasonable since XP is so old and MS has released three major operating system versions since XP. Also, you were still getting support and updates for XP after Vista was released, after Windows 7 was released and even after Windows 8 was released. I still think it's a bad comparison, but that's just my opinion, and I don't expect to change anyone's mind, so I'll shut up about it. >> >>> On 09/26/2013 02:52 PM, Ricardo Walker wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I think its a decent comparison since desktop OS's don't update nearly the speed of a Mobile OS.

Also, Microsoft dropping support for an operating system over a decade old is not the same issue as Apple pushing out an OS that's only a few days old to everyone's iPhone. Note that I don't have a problem with Apple; I'm just pointing out that this is not a good comparison. >>>> >>>>> On 09/26/2013 02:19 PM, John Diakogeorgiou wrote: >>>>> I agree with Ricardo.
