If 90% of Windows users are ignoring the updates, despite the warnings, so be it - if you own a computer you need to take responsibility for it - same with motorbikes as I was reminded by a copper once - just because I don't know how it works it doesn't mean I'm not responsible for the maintenance.
Ditto in the aviation world, ignore NOTAMS at your risk and peril.
So, who care cares about the risk takers, the rest of us "responsible" (even if we are unrepresentative) users would surely like to know when a critical service is activated - after all Microsoft warns you of the consequences of de-activating the firewall, so why not a warn us when IT decides to switch it on "for your own good"?
