Windows Update - careful now!

[Swingman]

Noted with the update that was snatched early this AM to my laptop ... if
you're running a new Vista installation you might want to double check your
default "Windows Update" settings to insure that you don't get rudely dumped
in the midst of a critical task when Vista decides to update ... by default
you will have no choice/warning should this happen while you're in the midst
of online banking/whatever.

Yet another sign of "progress" from Microsoft. Sigh. This is really
getting depressing.
