The famous software maker Microsoft Corp. has recently denied that it has been its software that has arbitrarily changed Windows Vista’ update settings. The company has even claimed that it has been the users that are responsible for the modifications that have generated the claims of unauthorized patch installs. So, it wasn’t Microsoft, but could the Windows Vista users be really responsible of this problem?

Microsoft Corp. has made these public statements as a reaction to the reports that have first surfaced on last Friday; a program manager for Microsoft’s Windows Update has said on Wednesday that it has been an investigation that has turned up no evidence that the October 9 security fixes have in fact switched the settings in Windows Vista’s Automatic Updates.

"From the customer logs that we received, we found that none of the updates released as part of the October security release have made any changes to users' AU settings.” – has said Nate Clinton, the program manager of Microsoft’s Windows Update.

All the discussions have appeared after the users have claimed that their brand new operating system’s Automatic Updates settings have mysteriously reverted to the “install automatically” setting, although it hasn’t been them to check this option on. This flaw has appeared soon after the release from last Tuesday of six security updates.

However, the fact that these recent complaints have appeared only in the messages of the AeroXperience’s forum’s members is also very strange. Is Microsoft angry against these web site’s users or what?
