Microsoft has begun patching files on Windows XP and Vista without users' knowledge, even when the users have turned off auto-updates. Many companies require testing of patches before they are widely installed, and businesses in this situation are objecting to the stealth patching. "Normal behaviour," according to Microsoft.

No. That's the core of the problem. The core of the article was that Microsoft was invading your privacy and modifying the entire OS by installing all kind of updates without your consent.
Remove the sensationalism of the article and you would have had a good story. As it stands now it is just obnoxious second rate "journalism".

Microsoft should of course not install updates to WU automatically unless configured so. It should notify users of updates to Windows Update...
