MacBookAir 2010 13”, Mac OS X (10.6.5)
I got this as well, shortly after re-installing windows on my MBA 13" Oct 2010.
It seems to be some sort of issue with apple device drivers, the trackpad one in particular?I also use trackpad++ so that might have contributed to it too.
Anyhow I updated to latest bootcamp 3.2 and latest trackpad++ and no windows updates seem to cause a problem for me. problem over.
fyi, blue screens are invaluable for diagnosing the error that caused the crash, the blue screen leaves a crash dump for you to analyse.
The blue screen is of course in most cases caused by a software package the end user has installed that conflicts with a core component of the OS, a third party driver that either was not meant for that OS or was written poorly, or last but not least, faulty hardware.
So ... all of you uniformed tech users, you have now been enlightened by a fact that you didn't know before.

I'm having the same issue, and I wasn't able to get the system restore to restore to last known configuration. Just curious, did anyone find any other way to boot into windows 7 to make the update to boot camp and disable auto update?
Thank you for the help.
Have you all tried booting into safe mode? Press F8 after the EFI (white screen/apple boot menu), it will, if timed correctly, show up a list of Windows boot options. Safe mode will boot up Windows with only the most required drivers active, from there you can run the uninstall for the trackpad drivers.
Solution for this problem is simple. You have to apply Mac Book Air SMC Update 1.7 which you can do from Mac OS X with Software Update or you can download required update manually from Apple support site. If you don't use BootCamp and have installed Windows without it, you will have to boot Mac OS X from external drive just to apply required update. After you applied SMC update, you can boot to Windows and apply BootCamp update 3.2 and 3.3.
There is a known problem with Mac Book Air EFI Update 2.3, which you won't be able to apply and it will show in Software Update every time you check for updates. There is no solution for it yet.
You get BSOD if you have BootCamp 3.1 and Windows 7 SP1 installed and you have commited Windows update which will break applemtp.sys as your SMC firmware is too old. It applies to Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit versions in BootCamp or native install.
Yes I have. I still get the BSOD during reboot.
