Windows update off/on/automatic?

I always put windows update to warn me before downloading anything and also when I'm ready to install them. I don't like it when windows have control of what is installing on my pc and sometimes I like to wait a bit when patches are dispatched because you never know

Automatic update is off in my computer , I dont like when windows do stuff with my permition.
Another reason to turn off automatic update is because my PC is slower when automatic update is on.

Mine is On. But not in automatic mode. I like to confirm the things that happens on my PC.

mine is off because it slows the pc down alot when i want to use it

Hm, I have not noticed that it is slow... At least I have not experienced such problem.

I also keep my automatic update off all the time! I don't think any update will make that big difference in the windows performance and also it does slow down the PC and the internet connection!

I haven't update my windows in a long time. I haven't even installed sp2. Frankly you don't have to if you install a good anti virus program.

I always update windows, but from genuine thing i don't do that anymore, because it install that junk on my pc.

I have Windows ME so this option doesnt really apply to me, but I tried to use Windows Update earlier today and it told me that I was using a Mac to try and install updates so they didnt let me in!!! no good, another reason why Ubuntu Linux Rocks !!!
