I don't use Windows on my personal computers, but I am required to use Windows 7 for work. On rare occasions, I do need to access personal documents and accounts through my work PC. As a result, I am somewhat concerned about the supposed privacy-infringing updates that Microsoft has pushed to Windows 7, and I would like to avoid them.
I've freshly installed Windows 7 on the system, what should I do about the Windows Updates? Are the some I should install, and some that I shouldn't?

If you're using a custom image provided by your company, it's most likely properly sanitized and will only communicate with your company's network, which will deploy updates and such.
Microsoft doese,t care about your shit

Easy, stop using corp resources for personal work. They are probably monitoring more of your activity than Microsoft is.
source, corp IT guy.

> what should I do about the Windows Updates?
open up msconfig and turn it the fuck off.
threads like this are so cute because the retard tools on /g/ actually believe it is real.
FACT: anything on your 'work pc' (aka: your parents computer) is legally accessible by your work, and any network transmissions done on their network is 100% in control by them.
this shit is even funnier because if anyone ever looks through those fucking garbage battlestation threads you would see that 95% of the posters all live with their parents, making threads like this even bigger failures

They really, really don't. To think a company as big as Microsoft cares at all about you, specifically, is incredibly arrogant.

The concern is not that Microsoft is directly interested in you, it's that they are funneling information about you to their advertisers.
