3. The only thing Chris Wilson said that was blatantly contradicted is that they wouldn't use Automatic Updates. They will use AU in addition to Windows Updates (the website), but everything else jibes. It won't be a silent install. There will be choice and it can even (supposedly) be uninstalled. I reckon that it was a change that was in-the-pipes before the interview but became official shortly thereafter. So, no harm done.
