Per the above, I would allow Microsoft to auto-update if I had any confidence they would not auto-install various browsers or silver-whateveritis.
Here's a case for manually checking Windows Update, though. I've had two instances recently of installing software which includes unpatched MS C++ libraries. This shows up the next time you run Windows Update, but not before.
Curiously, the latest was a 2008 version -- from Adobe Labs. Ah, well.
