Actually, on PC's that update request (or automatic) is a function of how one
installed the Apple app in the first place. (It became VERY evident to those
using Palm Pre's when Apple decided to "update" software to render Palm's
connectivity impossible.)

I'm outraged that some Windows programs update without informing users!
And our HP notebook came with dozens of undocumented programs installed,
not even a list of software in a ReadMe file.
Apple doesn't do that. Any program that's listed in Apple Software
Update is a *suggestion* which you can install or ignore. I usually
install 1/2 of their suggestions and delete the rest. Third parties also
recommend software that I might want to install too--or not.
Must be a really slow day at Ars Technica to bother with such a
nonissue. The editor who came up with the headline should be slapped
with a handful of wet spaghetti.
