From: barrowhill on 23 Feb 2010 17:41 I've restored system to yesterday and performed all installs except KB976002. This was indicated as High Priority and though now hidden is eeident that t has been hidden. Why or Why!!. This should be optional. Just because EU won it's case Microsoft shouldn't go belly up in a fit of pique . The'venow provided the wherewithall as demanded by EU; it users choice to perform. I've installed firefox and an alternative to IE - I use both. I don't need dictating to or being forced to do something. Lets make it optonal.

From: MowGreen on 23 Feb 2010 19:43 The EU *forced* MS to do this. The High Priority given to this "update" was dictated by the EU. You need to direct your complaint towards them, not MS.

From: FrankV on 24 Feb 2010 09:31 You are correct about the EU forcing Microsoft to do this. Try to argue with the EU to get rid of this (joke).
