Streisand Effect and Microsoft Windows updates

It's been told, that Microsoft behaves in a way that would imply unfamiliarity with the concept known as Streisand Effect. Although I'm not 100% sure this will help block anything, I shall leave it to the reader to discover. I did glance through the source and did not find anything amiss.
