Interesting that the Apple code is so transparent that it’s easy to reverse engineer.
I found that the Windows code to trigger automatic updates was similarly transparent. I found a few lines of XML code that server as a timer to trigger updating. Microsoft has been known to use multiple means for updates, so the above might not be the last word. What people hate about Windows updates is they can arrive at the most inconvenient time and cause business disruption. Some people use Sordum’s Windows Update Blocker (WUB) to combat multiple update triggers.
