They're smart enough to know how the OS works and handles its updates so

they don't go online before presenting.

Just because you are clueless about the OS doesn't mean everyone else is.

:-) point taken. BUT, as I understand it, the ability to prevent
updates for a period is a (comparatively) recent introduction.

The fact that one can prevent updates for a period came as news to many
MS Windows users I've chatted to about this with, some of them pretty au
fait the OS. So it appears that there are a LOT of us "dumbos" out there.

I have always understood that for the home edition the machine updated
when it needed to - so how do you force it to update earlier as you say
above?
