Here's an idea: let's put context back to software updates rather than an analogy.
It's my experience the longer I leave a reboot after a reboot-requiring update the more stability problems I have after the reboot. It makes no logical sense but if you're on this list YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE. So the sensible thing to do is not use a computer at all, but failing that, the next best option is to do the update/reboot at the same time or don't do the update at all. Joe
