Apple computers don't announce updates on software?

Windows 7 also has free Microsoft anti-virus, but not by default, and Microsoft calls it a different name. To me, figuring this stuff out is part of my computer hobby, but to someone who wants an easy to use consumer product rather than a puzzle, Apple must be easier.
