Properly cracked versions of Windows have updates too.

I seriously hope you mean the "Let me choose when to install them" option.

I think they get security updates, but not os update
Typically, when a computer is first installed, it's best to keep windows update off and let the user decide how they want to receive updates. No one likes a timer that will auto-restart if you don't delay it after a auto-install update.

Users are idiots and will never willingly go as far as trouble themselves with keeping the OS up to date. They can turn them off if they really want to and are oh so bothered by it.
If you're an advanced user taking care of a network of computers (even if at home), it is your moral responsibility to ensure that by default, there is either at least a minimum level of system updates enabled and antiviral software installed unless you have some very, VERY good reasons against it.
I could go on about bad practices like that but keeping Windows update either on or rolling out updates periodically when they're tested sufficiently (think WSUS) is the [I]bare minimum[/I] of IT security.

I'm pretty sure you're worse than the anti-vax movement.

windows update seriously is a cunt though. if there's a big update out it can lock you out of your computer for 45 minutes or more if you restart. considering certain things require you to restart, that's really bad.
You can wait 45 minutes. If not, have fun fixing your computer for 6 months because viruses.

uuh, no you can't wait 45 minutes if you're using your computer for work and you're on a schedule, or if you're using it to communicate with someone and you tell them you'll be right back.
I'm not sure why I even typed this out though considering you just made it apparent that you think windows updates are the primary deterrent for viruses.
