Oh, I had exactly the same reservations about doing the upgrade - I'm going from Windows 7 Pro - but I found out that there is a way to turn off the automatic updates, though it's not as easy as it used to be. Also, you should turn off the option to get updates from other computers on the network. You can do that by not using the "express install" and opting out of that when it asks. Anyway, I went ahead with it two days ago and am pleased with it for the most part. Everything works, and that was the most important thing. :)
