Personally, I think that if it isn't stopping and saying "Wow dude,like this is a major new release, do you want to go with it?" and giving them the choice of staying on 6 or going to 7, that's rather impolite. And it's *very* impolite to not say "Please back everything up" before going and totally replacing a piece of the operating system that you swore on a Bible in court was a "totally integrated, can't be removed, you're screwed if it isn't functional" component of your system... that's basically a "no warning, no lubricant, no time to grab your ankles" install.... Of course, most of their users seem to believe that if that didn't happen on a regular basis, Microsoft didn't love them anymore....
