Repurposed Desktop - Microsoft ThinPC

If I run MS thinpc as an OS on a desktop to connect to my view environment, does the thinpc still require AntiVirus Software  and Windows Updates and all the fun PITA stuff that go with it.? Or can thinpc be locked down enough tthat is only purpose is to boot into the view system and deliver the virtual desktop without all pain and hassles of a regular OS.

Thanks

We have been using ThinPC for about 8 months. We install the VMWare View client, lock everything down and do not:

1. Join the machine to the domain

2. Bother with Windows Updates

3. Install an virus protection
