I'm running 8.1 and have the updates set to "ask me first".

Hope that's good enough.

Probably not, as I read this article and others like it.

Uh, no way.

BTW, I run a Mac running 10.8 with Windows 7 Pro running via Parallels. I turned off Windows updates long ago — easy in Windows 7, much harder in Windows 8.1.

Research it online.

Good luck!

No, is is not.
I keep hoping one of the anti-virus companies treats this automatic, no-permission upgrade as a virus with the proper fix...
