Auto-update should also be seamless; it should not open a webbrowser asking you to download a file, but instead it should update itself.

I highly disagree with this one. A user should always have an option to download and install updates themselves. I would suggest a box that would pop up, looking something like this:

Quote

New version X found! Install automatically, download from site and install yourself, or continue using old version?

Install automatically [_]
Open site for manual install [_]
Continue using old version [_]

Accept (_), Ignore and do not ask me again (_)

I (and many other "tin-foil-hatters") do not like nor will use software that will automatically update without our consent, and fully-automatic updating does not look good security-wise.

That's not what I meant. Of COURSE the user should be alerted and should have the choice. I am saying that the software should simply be capable of updating itself
