On: Hidden backdoor API to root privileges in Apple OS...

I don't think I've ever had to install a driver manually on Windows 7.

Windows is able to get drivers itself over the network. Unless the ethernet driver is missing to, which happens most of the time.

So you don't have a GPU card I guess?

With XP this was valid, but from Windows 7 onwards you don't need to do it anymore unless you actually want to play a game - the majority of users would never need to at all.

I think Windows updates my video driver for me. If I ever had to do anything manual, it was long enough ago that I don't remember it.

if you have a Nvidia or AMD Catalyst driver, i don't think Windows updates them to the latest versions available automatically.
