 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.
