But it's not much the same thing. I don't want to have to give my explicit OK on uploads (large or small). I want to reserve a certain portion of my upload bandwidth (for Windows Updates) and forget about it. This is a desktop not a mobile device. "Metered" connection doesn't make sense here. I don't want to affect
every app's ability to use my available bandwidth, just Windows Update's.
You (Microsoft) want me to take part in a voluntary distributed update network? Cool! I'm in. Here's how much of my precious resource I'm willing to donate to the cause at any given time. The lamest of bittorent clients gives me this ability. The current choices of "None" or "Some" lack a certain clarity. I'd appeciate a little more granularity on the "Some." Otherwise, you get None. *shrug*
Besides that, I'm liking what I see so far.
