While Microsoft said the "stealth install" of updated Windows update files --- even when users had disabled automatic updating --- was harmless, it turns out it wasn't quite that simple. For XP users, if you happened to do a "repair" using a repair CD, you would no longer be able to use Windows update ... period.
