Well, actually, it is. The legal term for 'cancel' with regard to decisions and judgements is precisely 'vacate'.
Quote: vacate
veɪˈkeɪt,vəˈkeɪt
verb
1.
leave (a place that one previously occupied).
"rooms must be vacated by noon on the last day of your holiday"
synonyms: leave, get out of, move out of, evacuate, quit, go away from, depart from, exit from, withdraw from, pull out of; More
2.
LAW
cancel or annul (a judgement, contract, or charge).
"the Justices vacated a ruling by the federal appeals court"
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Just to inform you, the ones striked by lightning did not listen to the announcements that you should leave the area immediatly and stay away from metal buildings. I saw the lightning stiking between the stage and a box tower.

On the one hand there is Paul Thurrott article[^] about Chromebook, explaining that one reason poeple like Chromebook is that they are easy to update / always up to date...
Now there is the furor about automatic Windows update.
I am a little confused as to what really pleases the user now.. No update? automatic update? Both at the same time?!  
Is the cat dead? or alive? or both?!
|

Only as the particular user desires. I want neither auto-updates, nor a "subscription" plan.

Never, in the long history of my computer use, have I ever let a program or application update itself automatically.
People who can't understand the sense behind that, and who don't take the time to read release notes, deserve to have the next brain-fart OS like vista or win 8 thrust on them.
They deserve all the ribbons and "alternative interfaces" that consume all their resources but aren't worth cr@p.
They deserve to keep finding that functions they use don't exist or work any more.
They deserve an earful from me, because it's their stupid attitude that allows -- and even encourages -- companies to to get away with the sh1t they pull.
Allowing something as critical as an OS -- which all your other programs (including drivers) depend on -- to auto update isn't just stupidity, it's madness.

Well.. so if I get what you are implying, in a more straightforward fashion, it is like that, no?
1. 90% of the people rather have auto update
2. Those 90% are losers
Anything to add? correct?

They're not losers, they're poorly advised.

Really? You'd think people prefer function and even form over automatic updates... 
When was the last time you heard anyone say "I got this new computer and she has automatic updates, baby! Oh yeah, also the newest CPU, a ton of DDR4, and a super fast TB SSD HD... But those updates though!"?

When was the last time you heard anyone say "security was breached/data was lost because of legacy software"?

I've never actually HEARD anyone say it.
Sure, it's in the news all the time. But who gets hacked? Not the average home computer...
The average user probably doesn't even know what "legacy" is. Or how to update software. Let alone it'd be some awesome feature they always wanted.

Not sure I'd agree with that..
If I were a hacker, I'd hack wherever I thought I could gain the most.. meaning I'd go for the big companies. To do that, my logical starting point would be to head straight for social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Branded.me - find out who works where) and then off to individual PC's (via phishing) in order to get direct access into the corporates.
Feel free to not update your PC, don't install anti-virus, anti-malware or a firewall though..
