>This is all easy to recreate, install WinXP (anything apparently), make sure
auto update is turned off from the get-go (not just prompt)  WU up all the
patches available -- no security dialog change, turn on autoupdate and wait
for it to cycle, new security dialog.

This is changing under our feet as we speak.  Today I took a fully-patched
machine, set to "download, then ask" to WinUpdate.  It prompted
me with a standard "may I?" dialog for the asx client v5.  I
declined SP2, and the pages in MyComputer had already changed to the new
style, and WinUpdate, of course, displayed with the new look.

I also noticed some nice behavior from NIS. (Get thee behind me; shakes
rattle).  A full (with reboot) update of NIS this week gets the WMI client,
and *intercepts* the security panel installation, advising the user to go
with NIS instead of Windows Firewall.  Accept that, and NIS takes over
fully and properly, as the only firewall.
