MS security patch EULA gives Microsoft admin privileges on your box

[Hammer]

Win XP maybe the last MS OS I will buy...

Microsoft may provide security related updates to the OS Components that will be automatically downloaded onto your computer.

Potential holes with auto-download is that, some unsavoury types may duplicate MS’s auto download protocols/authentication process, and install rouge programs.
