Sorry that was also a harsher message than I really intended. :) I'm just very against automatic updates, especially unattended ones. I like to be aware of software changes, and what those changes actually are before they're applied--I really appreciate 1P7 Mac version in particular for its pop-up about an update being available, with that pop-up window also displaying the detailed changelog. 1P7 Windows simply says an update is ready and doesn't offer any actual details other than version number.
Also I usually like to wait a little on installation (unless it's a major security update), just to see how reports shake out because bad updates dooooo sometimes occur, however rarely.
Anyway, good to know 1P8 keeps the option to turn off automatic updates. Thanks!
