Naw I think their initial idea for the Home editions are that you just take the updates as MS sends them out, a major worry when you consider that they recently moved Windows 10 upgrade update into being a critical update so it would download for all users (had previously been available but just by choice to download it seperatly to the critical updates) Would mean that if you are a windows 10 home user you could face a complete change to your OS without any option to not take the update.

I'm sure they'll 180 on it tho, because people who use things like "pay as you go" dongles for mobile broadband need to be able to connect to the Internet for essential things and not worry about windows update downloading gigs of data they don't want.

Also off-topic but I wasn't really sure how to take the post you quoted... I'm pretty sure I'm meant to be offended by it, maybe I will get it later.

I have low speed DSL.  It's all that is available in my area.  I can't stream and do anything else at the same time.  This is why I keep auto-updates off for everything and close services like Steam when I'm not using them.  If Windows 10 won't allow me to schedule downloads for when I'm not using my PC then I will consider it anti-consumer.  It's that simple.
