The heated battle is mostly heated because Google keeps throwing oil into fire. Oracle and Microsoft gladly showed that relational big corporate databases are much faster and better than NoSQL. But Google keeps promoting their own shit because it's their own shit. And it's shit.

Slashdot's title gives the idea that Microsoft is using Windows Update to disable gadgets while in fact they are not. The article, however, is correct so this is just Slashdot trying to be sensationalist.

What Microsoft is giving is 'Fix It' executable on their website. These are entirely optional and are proactively downloaded and enabled by users. They also contain the full info of what they do.

As for the "vulnerability", well, duh. You download executable code, you might get pwnd. Even Chrome warns you that addons can pwn your system.
