Sounds more like MS forcing happy users (well, as happy as you get with MS products) into an unwanted upgrade.

LOL do you think we will get ne thing for free from MS for being good loyal customers?

Who says you HAVE to d/l the patches and updates?

I think they're finally doing something towards making a strong, solid OS that isn't quite as bloated. Either that or they'll find something else to bloat it with :)
