As I understand it, they are excepting security updates, because they realise that everyone suffers if unpatched vulnerabilities exist. If that's so, who's worried? Who would actually choose to update a windows application if they are running under wine?

Anne; There's something else to consider as well. Win4Lin would probably do a better job in any case. Sure, it requires that you have a copy of Windows to install, but once the install is complete, Win4Lin runs as smoothly as a normal Windows install, but with a few major advantages;
1) It runs as a virtual OS, so it's significantly faster,
2) It runs on top of the Linux environment and kernel, making it the most stable version of Windows on the planet,
3) Win4Lin is about to release a new version (Win4Lin Pro)in the next few weeks which uses Windows 2000 Professional or WindowsXP, instead of Windows98 or Millennium.
Don't ya just love science?
