This is a great feature and long overdue. The majority of users don't have the technical knowhow to ensure there machines are correctly updated and even the relatively low risk of a failed update is better than not doing them. something like 30% of machines are malware infested and it is directly due to people that turn off updates, don't know how to do them or are just ignorant of the issues. IF you are tech savy you can easily disable the updates or block them or just use a professional version.

You have a good point, I checked and I'm 125 updates behind. Last updated in September. 1.3 GB of updates to download.

I don't mind the auto downloading and installing, however I can't stand the forced or automatic reboots, which is why I turned it off. When I leave my laptop at night I expect everything to be there in the morning, exactly the way I left it. Put a non invasive reminder on the task bar and I'll reboot when it's convenient for me. Or make it so that Windows puts everything back the way it was before the reboot. (That would be cool, yet a nightmare to implement I imagine)
