Microsoft is frequently dinged for having insecure products, with security holes and vulnerabilities. But Symantec, no friend of Microsoft, said in its latest research report that when it comes to widely-used operating systems, Microsoft is doing better overall than its leading commercial competitors. The information was a part of Symantec's 11th Internet Security Threat Report. The report, released this week, covered a huge range of security and vulnerability issues over the last six months of 2006, including operating systems.

It does make the patches available regardless of a valid product key. I will install all updates via automatic updates (just not windowsupdate.com). You can't get all the new optional stuff (WMP, etc) but, all security updates will be received though.
