I think you're missing the point of concern here. That would be one, but let's just hope that Microsoft is smart enough to validate the data gotten from P2P updates.

That still brings up the issue that Microsoft is leveraging my broadband connection, my power and my computer(s) that I pay for to issue updates to their customers without even asking. That's not ok.

Definitely. My mother has a 3gb cap on her broadband every month and this is going to basically break it.

Fuck them for even daring to do this. It's authoritarian arrogance, nothing more.

That's a great point.
