I am responsible for 200 computers in 20 odd locations.

The default behaviour of these sites is to using Automatic Windows Update for the latest security fixes on Patch Tuesday.

Now Microsoft are bypassing me and going straight to my end users and offering to install a new Internet Browser (I.E7)

In most cases everything will be fine, but when it goes wrong I will be the one who has to fix it.

DEAR MICROSOFT,

ARE YOU GOING TO HELP ME FIX 200 DAMAGED WINDOWS INSTALLS IN A SINGLE DAY IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG?

I’M GUESSING THE ANSWERS NO.

Security Updates, Yes I agree, but forcing new Software No Thanks.
