Perhaps a different approach is in order -- product liability.
Network operators have been injured by the distribution of buggy software from M$. We need to be compensated for our time and expenses.
End users need to be compensated for their costs to upgrade.
A check in the mail would be a better incentive to administrators than "automatic" updates.
Now *there's* a thought. However, all software companies carry product liability insurance. It's sometimes called a shrink-wrap license. You might actually try reading it the next time you purchase and install software.
