They were? I guess service packs were kinda exciting, but for general updates this is news to me! :-)

Yeah, or you could just not decide not to install a particular one in the first place!

Honestly, I think software developers in general (including but not limited to Microsoft) need to realize that they need to stop forcefully shoving updates down people's throats against their wills, and instead write updates that are so good that people will want to install them.
