Chris - this is the way I've been given to understand it. Home-Brews - a term MS, itself, uses - to define a PC one puts together, oneself - using store-bought components - case, motherboard, CPU, RAM, HD, Video Card, DVD Burner, Power Supply, etc., etc. - and then loading an OS picked up, locally, or from places like Staples and Amazon - are prevented from UPDATING that PC over the Net - here, in the USA.
