XP corporate versions do not require any interaction w/ MS on install
auto-updates are still optional
most businesses have firewalls and administrators
or is this like one of those hacker movies we all know and love

in W2K you have to be an admin to run updates
I'm the only XP user at work and am admin so I don't know how that is but I'd suspect it is the same
