regarding this statement: "this will require that you not have your PC configured in update automatic installation mode, which has other ramifications -- so you may wish to consult a knowledgeable associate if you're not familiar with Windows Update configuration issues"

what other 'ramifications' should i be aware of?

click the link for the article and ask her. i just copied and pasted. though a good question.

Extras? It spys on you every 90 days! What else do you need?

Thanks LFB, for the Snip. What are all the Extras?, can you have a look now that you are legit.

Well I am legit on all my machines, and I refuse to install this until I see, if there is
going to be any grief with it, if I ever decide to install it at all.

Unless microsoft puts out something that I absolutely cannot live without. I'm going to pass. But it'll be interesting to see the long term effects of this update..
