I have always had updates set to OFF and/or NEVER CHECK. This was originally done because I want to know before something is done to MY (not M$'s) computer, also makes it easier as am always on WIFI. I go once a week or so to 'all programs / update' and click on the 'check for updates' button and that gives a current list of all available updates. Have never been more than 3 or 4 days late for an update and that in itself is a very rare occasion.
As for setting to 'notify and let me download' I think somewhere on the EULA it says that if M$ thinks that you should have an update it will be downloaded and installed without further notice.
As a side note to this thread, has anyone noticed the 'most users on 7 Forum'? Looks like coffee time the morning after that 10 was dumped on a lot of unsuspecting computers.
