Is the update burden getting to be too much?

Updates are really no problem

You just have to understand what you're doing. On all my boxes (Mac,
Windows, Linux) I have the automatic update feature turned off. Only
Windows keeps reminding me this is a problem that needs to be
fixed. On Mac and Linux, I check when I want to check. All the while
Windows is still telling me (10 or more times a day) that it's a serious
problem that I don't allow Windows Update to run when it wants to
run.

This is the real annoying thing, being told to run AU automatically
even though you select you don't want to run it automatically. As for
iTunes or QuickTime. Why did you install QuickTIme if you don't like
it? It's an optional install? To complain about not liking your own
choices is whining. Get over it and uninstall it. If you like iTunes, only
download and install iTunes.

I only use QuickTime on Apple. I like WinAmp on Windows and XMMS
on Linux. So I install QuickTime (and it's infrequent updates) only on
Apple boxes. Simple. Problem solved.

Was that hard?
