I was talking about OSX. I think operating systems should make it very clear to the users what critical updates need to be installed, but they shouldn't force users to update against their will and interrupt their workflow. Something like this:
> These critical security updates are essential for continuing safe and secure operation of your computer!
> Critical security update x: allows an attacker to take control of your PC
> Critical security update y: ....
> Critical security update z: ....
In the U.S at least we give people personal liberties over much more serious matters such as allowing people to refuse care in a medical context. The health of someone's personal PC is nothing next to that.
