content: Micro$oft keeps saying that all but one of the updates is recommended (ideally not being installed unless you specifically indicate so.) BULLSHIT..  for one thing, they are slowly being switched from recommended to important; for another thing, even if you "hide" those particular updates, they keep showing up, again, later.  They are hoping that eventually everyone will get lazy or not pay attention and inadvertently install their crap, and become a zombie, not caring about privacy. Switch to Linux.
