No, for both those examples I *want* updates to install with virtually no user interaction. Ditto Windows itself. And, for internet-facing machines, Quicktime also, but this is where the problem lies. QT doesn't just quietly keep itself updated. Instead, it uses this Apple updater which gets in your face and installs unwanted software by default.
It's fantasy to believe every average computer user should (or could) read and understand every time these damn things come up - which is often. Go ahead and include your suggestions in your updater if you want, but don't ever have them selected by default.
