For the paranoid or illegal users The update will be voluntary (meaning that you can choose not to install it) and can also be uninstalled at any time. |

| 857331 | 2010-02-11 21:41:00 | It won't be finding mine is genuine. I never allow updates. SPs, yes. updates, no. Too many times updates break things. |

| 857332 | 2010-02-11 21:45:00 | Yup I've never put any of these on automatic. If there's updates, I'll choose what I want to install | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 857333 | 2010-02-11 21:53:00 | I mostly posted to allow people to turn their updates off if they don't want to get WAT by default. Me. I'm not that paranoic so I don't actually care. I image hard drives so that if anything breaks with an update I can get back to where I was. I auto download and custom install at a time when I want to do it. |

| 857334 | 2010-02-11 22:17:00 | its an optional update anyway | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 857335 | 2010-02-11 23:23:00 | its an optional update anyway And you really think so. MS smuggled in WGA under the guise of a critical update I believe. They got away with it though. |
