Unlike Firefox, Mac OS X checks for updates, and asks you if you want to install the updates. That is the default setting in Mac OS X.



I was being asked if I want to download and install the update or not. Not the case of only being informed after the update has been stealthily downloaded, and was forced to install the update at next relaunch.


This is the preferences panel of Software Update:


Mac OS X users may choose to let the system download the update at background without informing you first, but users have to change the settings to that. Mac OS X does not force users to update, unlike Firefox. Users authorised Mac OS X to download system updates in the background by changing the default settings.
