The sighted may not see this except for perhaps a mouse position move,
but blind users, if reading a document, find it stops the reading, as
it changes the focus of the carat.
Similar things can happen if some alert is displayed, but there is no
alert, so I did wonder if this was in readiness for a mega nag after
the end of January to **** off users.

Mine stopped updating ages ago. Now even the antivirus program (Security
Essentials) refuses to update its virus definitions. The machine
continues to work all right.

Strange. Mine updates every week, but it is the Pro version so that may
explain it.
