I found this item and my thought is that this looks too much like a route for malicious software to attack a system.

While the overall concept (no need to reboot on update) is valid (and commercial, not FOSS), there is no discussion about what security measures have been or SHOULD be used in actual implementation.
At the least, I see the commercial nature of this software will prevent it from being used by most linux and FOSS fans. However the larger business IT departments may find it desirable... If they don't shoot themselves in the foot by installing it without a lot of prior thought...
