I thought maybe I wouldn't have to worry about the telemetry (read: "spying") too much if I stuck with Windows 7 Enterprise (although it wouldn't be on a domain), but apparently that's not entirely true.
I have media that has SP1 slipstreamed and saw that there was a "comprehensive"(?) update that Microsoft put out, reducing the need to downloads hundreds of updates. I'd have to double-check the date on it but I think it was recent enough to include some of the updates you mentioned.
I suppose I had gotten my hopes up that I could just install a volume licensed copy of Windows 7 Enterprise and "be okay". I should have known better. :/
