Windows Media Player BLINDSIDE update!

I am furious with Microsoft!

For the second time now I have been blindsided by Microsoft with a
notification regarding an "update to Media Player 10" which turns out to be
a stealth installation of version 11! I DO NOT WANT VERSION
11!!!!!!!!

This is disgusting! It was billed as a "Version 10" update and there was no
opportunity to cancel this prior to discovering it was NOT an upgrade to 10
but a "forced down your throat" installation of 11!

I would like to hear from someone at Microsoft as to why they have decided
to do this in this way! This is infuriating to say the least! If you want to
offer an update to MP11 then come right out and say so! At least give
someone the opportunity to say NO!

I WILL NEVER TRUST ANY MICROSOFT UPDATES AGAIN!
