I just did some Windows 7 updates on my dual booted Eepc and there was no issue.
The vast majority of Windows updates do not require Windows' boot partition be active. Occasionally one does.
Maybe I've just been very fortunate. Since 2000 when I bought my first boxed version of SUSE I've never had a Windows update mess with the boot partition. Upgrades, yes. Going from one version of Windows to the next has always messed with the boot partition. Not saying it can't happen on an update, it just never has for me. For the most part I have stopped dual booting as much as possible. Only my main laptop and my E are dual booted. I have matching desktops, one Linux and one Windows. Easier to switch back and forth when necessary and much simpler than a VM. Plus, I can do both at the same time if I need to. My Dell Duo is Windows only, I share it with my best half and she won't do Linux. And, it being part laptop and part tablet I am hesitant to try a Linux install.
