The delivery system is still better than MS. Load once and it then finds all
the other systems on your network and fixes them. No messing with Active
directory or anything, just load once and forget about it and everyone gets
patched.

I don't think Variant D is installing the packages and making them
immediately active without a reboot. However, the changes it makes will
probably become active on the next user reboot.

it is also interesting that a virus writer can find a way to silently
install patches without requiring a reboot but Microsoft can't. If
Microsoft's updates installed so effortlessly, there would be a lot fewer
problems.

I'd never willingly allow this or a similar ilk into my network. But I
find the concept amusing. Imagine if every time someone released a
virus, someone else wrote a worm that hunts it down, kills the virus,
patches the machine, and then uninstalls itself.
