yes 1000%. I remember my first impression of automatic updates was to feel profoundly out of control; software could now change itself without anyone even knowing. The transition to broadband was cool as I could pirate enough music to fill up my hard drive, but also profoundly unsafe: other things could come down that pipe.

Making the invisible processes of change and exfiltration legible to humans, even only as background noise, would humanize these awful OSes in a big way.
