Please let us disable update prompts

Forgive me for my frustrated tone (or don't)...
I'm getting so tired of this **bleep**. Why on earth isn't there an option to disable update prompts? Every single time I start up skype I get an update pop-up. Twice. I've searched for solutions, but none of them worked for me. This should just be an option within the client itself, even if hidden under an "advanced" tab to stay in line with how dumb you assume your users are. Possibly the most mind boggling part is how other people on the exact same version don't seem to get any update prompts, nor do I get them on my laptop.
I just do not want your **bleep** update. Why are you trying to force it down my throat? I'm all for security updates but I'm not on board with following the trend of catering your UI to four year olds. I like an interface that's clean and clear and doesn't try so hard to look "hip". The least you could do is add options to use the old interface/disable new """features""".
P.S. While you're at it, stop automatically capitalizing brand names like "Always" in my sentences. And stop making my asterisks bold **bleep**, they already have a different purpose... *sigh*

Download Skype 7.0
http://www.skype.com/go/download
go to Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM Settings -> Compact Chat View (on)
Also View -> Compact Sidebar View (on)
also Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM Appearance -> Show Oversized Emoticons (off)
and I also recommend Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security -> Restricted Sites -> Sites -> add g.msn.com and apps.skype.com
or
Download Skype 6.21 from http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.21.0.104.msi or http.//filehippo.com/download_skype/58884/
Make sure you go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Skype Updater -> set to DISABLED
and I also recommend Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security -> Restricted Sites -> Sites -> add g.msn.com and apps.skype.com
and add 127.0.0.1 download.skype.com to your host file if you want to go for certain.
Also worth noting that C:\users\youruser\appdata\roaming\skype\shared.xml -> go to <EnableWiki> and turn 1 to 0 to disable the **~~__@@!! thing.
