Updates-on-login are interesting, but I think fatally flawed
because of the common requirement to reboot after updates.
This is actually the case where update on login works best. Any other
time rebooting is totally interruption. You're working, you need to
decide whether or not rebooting is important enough, and then if you
do decide to reboot, you need to save all of your state, and actually
do the deed. Immediately after boot you don't have this problem.
Instead of starting to work and then being disturbed, you delay
starting until you can really start, without interruption.
's a fair point.
Also, as there is no user state before login, we can reboot the machine without
user confirmation. With fast-boot and KMS, we completely remove the pain from
rebooting after updates -- in fact, the user probably won't even notice the
reboot (we should suppress startup sounds on the reboot).
