Can you justify turning off auto-updates?

[QUOTE="gorblimey, post: 946888, member: 65556"] I simply don't want any program/OS interrupting my day. Updates -- when I do do it -- are strictly manual. And updates only happen if the app performance warrants it. My browser and email client are fairly current, while my graphics is still done on PSP 6.2 o_O And since Win7 still works perfectly without any updates other than functional upgrades (eg: Visual C++ Redists and SP1) I have no need for Windows-as-a-service. Foxit stopped getting updates when the "upgrade" took away the Menu Bar -- I have no ribbons on this box! Having said all that, don't do what I do unless you fully understand what the consequences could be. [/QUOTE]
