Mayhap it depends on the size of the company. If I ran an automatic Windows
update that hadn't passed through the various corporate processes, I'd
probably be fired on the spot. This corporation takes its security very
seriously, and they don't trust it to any single vendor.
Making any kind of generalizations about IT departments is kind of risky...
We have a great IT department for our little wholly owned, but they stand at
the mercy of the big company that owns us. We don't dictate security policy,
we just follow it. Doesn't make me a stupid user for not updating my
machine... It just means I have to follow the rules.

I find it hard to believe that any IT department would
frown upon using the native Windows Update feature to
install critical updates. I've worked with some pretty
anal IT departments, but all of them strongly
recommended running the Windows Update feature (or
setting it up to run automatically) to keep
workstations up to date and safe.
