This crap is easily overcome:
Autopatcher Vista. All of the MS updates, and extra MS software, and none of the spying and crap associated with MS themselves.
Never rely on Microsoft for updates ever again. In fact, you can blackhole every single one of their IP addresses, and still use their so-called "features" in Vista. You can get an entire list of Microsoft address ranges to block from www.bluetack.co.uk. That is the site of Bluetack Internet Security Solutions, creators of Protowall and the Blocklist Manager. They also have an online converter, to convert the blocklist into compatible listings to integrate into IPTables, IPChains, Sygate Pro, Outpost Firewall, etc.
