Also, you should understand that automatic dripfeed updates is
a crazy-ass, unstable way to operate. Problems and bugs have
been numerous because things are not sufficiently tested. You
should NOT enable dropfeed updates. Some people will say that's
irresponsible in terms of security. It's not. What's irresponsible is
insecure browser settings, Remote Desktop, and other unsafe
practices. That's how malware attacks. Unpatched bugs are never
the sole reason for compromised systems.
Microsoft are doing this partly due to fashion but mostly as an
excuse to exercise control over your computer. The plan with
MS, Adobe and many other companies is to rent computing
itself because they no longer make such big profits selling
software. But who, in their right mind, would pay to rent
software?
Thus, the scam requires redefining the landscape. They
essentially have to turn your car into a taxi and convince you
that that's the way it's always been. Part of that strategy
involves normalizing constant updates and normalizing spyware
functionality. Another strategy is "cloud". Adobe Photoshop or CS
installs locally. MSO365 also installs locally. But they give you
online storage and pretend that you're using online software.
In that way they justify rental fees, telling people that it's
now cloud software.
(And God help any sucker who pays Abode through the nose
without saving local copies of their work. If they stop paying
rent they'll lose their files.)
Did you know that corporate customers ("enterprise") who buy
multiple seat licenses can control their own updating? The Home
and Pro versions of Windows are now an unpain army of beta
testers. If something is going to brick the system, Home/Pro
customers with auto-update enabled will find out first. Meanwhile,
the corporate customers have their own IT staff, doing the testing
that MS should have done, before they roll out any changes to
their fleet.
