if you read the articles youll notice that it says they can.

"Beginning on Tuesday 12 April 2005 AU (Automatic Update) and WU
(Windows Update) will deliver SP2 regardless of the presence of the
blocking mechanism."

so no matter if you have automatic updates turned off you will still
get SP2 on 12 april.

all they have to do is log on via NT/Authority system remotely and install it.

which just because im paranoid makes me think what else can they install.
