That download is costing people money, and if there is any justice left in the US, it will result in a class action lawsuit.

People in Redmond or Silicon Valley with good internet connections need to remember that a lot of people don't have that luxury. Extremely low bandwidth connections are still very common in the US, and metered connections are an unfortunate reality for many people around the world.

This. This is the thing that makes you question the justice system in the US? Maybe they should have a class action suit against ISPs for having shitty caps? I'm in rural Ohio and I don't have a 2gb cap per month. If I did I certainly wouldn't enable automatic updates for any software.

I never claimed this.

Good. That doesn't mean everybody else does. Stop projecting your situation onto everybody else.

As you're posting to HN, I can assume you are very familiar with computers and understand how to do that. Everybody else just wanted the small security patches that Windows Update provided for years, with minimal impact on data caps.
