Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT: Windows 2000 SP3 License Agreement
Actually, I downloaded SP3 last Friday night. There is a new little app, I
believe it is under the Control Panel, that allows you to determine how
automatic the Windows update is. I basically picked the don't do anything
setting.
I am still poking around to see what else is new. The "ability" to pick middleware apps is amusing. Middleware as in a browser, mail app, media app, etc.
I am running a non-MS firewall so I feel somewhat comfortable with Windows. Although, they could easily route any information through IE, or one of the other required services, to get past my firewall to the net.

I'm informed it contains the following:
"You acknowledge and agree that Microsoft may automatically check the version of the OS Product and/or its components that you are utilizing and may provide upgrades or fixes to the OS Product that will be automatically downloaded to your computer."
Well I guess we won't need as many Windows SA's
I'm right at ease at having my desktop communicate with the mothership at anytime. After all Microsoft so narrowly defines "OS Product".
I wouldn't be one bit surprised if Oracle came out with something similar.
