...and you can set up your Windows computer to do the same thing, if you want. For me, I would NEVER allow updates to anything to be applied without asking me first, so no matter what OS I'm on, I see that kind of message if it's been a few months since I used the device.

PS...I really don't want to get into an OS discussion here, just pointing out that Windows can be configured to behave the same way that you have your Linux box set up. FUD is such an unnecessary thing...
