It is a big issue for people that doesn't have their computers on all the time. You might turn it on because you need to do something in a hurry and then you have to wait for some update to take all your bandwidth. Then you might have to turn off your computer in order to get rid of that pesky "restart" screen that flips up, preventing you from doing certain stuff and watching movies, and the reset might take a very long time. Very upsetting if it takes more than a few minutes, which it often does. If you are working on a limited bandwidth it is also a big issue to let windows choose when to suck up your bandwidth.
The choice of when to do your updates is a BIG issue for me.
I happen to live in an area where we don't have any option but DSL quality connectivity, it's a great place to live except for the internet. If Microsoft holds true to its history then I assume we will see updates several times larger than what they are currently for Windows 7 and 8. I usually stay current with updates but at least I choose when to install them, I don't want Microsoft deciding when to download updates because I don't want my usage time to be competing with their updates.
There are plans for our area to upgrade to cable but I cringe at the thought of dealing with Comcast, Time-Warner, and Charter, I haven't had much fun with them in the past.
