I do, not certain about it though. The only problem with not updating is eventually MS stops supporting certain versions. Other than that I am pretty sure they are just using it as a spy tool.
I put a tinfoil hat on my laptop though so they can't spy on me.

DONT USE IT. I could go into a million reasons why..
manually download the patches after they have been posted for a while.
I design OS builds for a large company, we have a very large lab setup and a local WSUS server that delivers the patches ONLY after we run them through the ringer.

Ah yes.. so AAP should set a VERY LARGE LAB SETUP and local server to test and deploy patches?
WTF?
You're crazy motherfucker. Nothing wrong with windows update on a home PC for a PC n00b. Better to get the security patches that MS releases on ASAP than take the risk of being vulnerabile.

I haven't downloaded a single patch or update. Ever. Not in two years. Did I wait long enough? HA!
Anyway... should I decide to do this.... Do I have to go all the way to the very first one and download/update in order from earliest to latest? All 30+ of them? Or can I just go to the latest and do only that one. I would suspect that the latest would need to be applied to another previous patch and if I don't have that previous patch, it would fail.

Hell no.
I kept getting the pop-up "New updates are ready to install" thingy ever so often. Well after getting tired of seeing that I finally decided to update so it would go away.
After installing it said that windows needs to reboot. So I did.
Well my computer crashed and I spent two days trying to recover it. (This was my work computer).
Luckily I had my harddrive partitioned and so I didn't lose my project files....but I did lose windows and all my programs.
I WILL NEVER INSTALL THEM AGAIN. SCREW YOU MISCRSOFT I HATE YOU!

Manually installing them is the way to go. I've had problems with the malicious software removal tool and do not want that POS on my computer again. I accept most other security fixes though.
