That's what I call an urban legend.

Windows _tries_ to do so and it often works on most occasions, but it 
also occasionally screws up pretty badly, esp. when an update goes wrong 
or when Microsoft screws it (This had happened several times earlier 
this year).

Windows also only tries update itself, but doesn't take care about 
updating packages from other sources. In most cases, users will have to 
resort to using package proprietary updaters which may or may not work, 
but always will require "admin" action or them to act as maintainers.
