Correct, but you have to ask yourself, do you really need updates for a box that even if it gets infected can't hold onto an<br>
infection between loads of the VM.<br>
<br>
That being said, getting something like cryptolocker would really suck, so you might want to come up with a procedure so that the<br>
machine gets updated periodically but goes right back to being locked down, but if he's only using the system for strictly the bare<br>
minimum, the likelihood of getting an infection is slim to none.<br>

Just so (I) am clear on this: A VM setup this way cannot get winblows updates either... correct? It would literally be frozen in<br>
time.<br>
