There's no "Automatic Update" for Windows (as far as I know - haven't checked out XP though). You have the "Windows Update" site if that's what's you're referring to.

However, using Windows Update require that users activle visits the site and performs the updates. And that ain't happening (as we all know).

Not even so called "computer professionals" are updating their systems, to which we had proof when Nimda hit the net (the patch had been available for more than a month).
