I agree completely
I just can?t understand why Download updates but let me choose whether to install them or Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them doesn?t mean what it says it means and why Microsoft can?t accept that. As they stand, these settings are misleading at best.

Microsoft installing ANY update, when you have specifically told it not to install them unless you approve them is just plain wrong.
