Heelx : Im gunna disagree with you there (reply to Damocles). I prefer the updates to be "optional".
The game (or windows) doing it 'automatically' really peeves me off,
ESPECIALLY on the odd occasions that my internet isnt running.
So think of the poor beggars who have NO internet, or worse still, only have dial-up !!

Dont get me wrong Heelx, I respect your opinion as yours, its just I really
hate ANY application that generates internet link-ups without my express
permission, its just plain RUDE!
