Well I was replying to the email about os x specific software update.
In that case you have a simple, easy choice or updating or not. No
need to force quit, no need to be annoyed at having to force quit.
Why people even discuss windows updates on this list is beyond me. To
paraphrase a CSI charac

The Windows updater has an install and shutdown / reboot option to
separate the downloading from the installing. Somehow for me this is
the default and yet it still prompts for reboot as soon as it has
finished downloading.

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.

Why run the software update if you don't want to update?

The more hateful part of the dialog is the idea that not clicking is
interpreted as "I'm too lazy to click so I guess you can restart now."
One fine afternoon, I went upstairs for a cup of coffee and came back
to a freshly restarted PC. I guess I didn't need those code changes.

I hate Microsoft Windows with a passion, but that in and of itself is too easy
to be worthy of mention here. Fish. Barrel. Dynamite. Boom!
However, the Windows box I am forced to use at work (for testing certain kinds
of streaming media, players for which do not exist on Linux) recently prompted a
