"Is it just me, or is Vista obsessed with updating itself? As
soon as I boot a Vista machine it wants to immediately reboot to
install some kind of update. This is extremely disruptive to
workflow. The user has to start, and then stop instantly while the
machine takes care of itself. If you ignore the reboot demand, it
nags, nags, nags you to reboot, until you capitulate or throw the
machine through the window in a fit of rage.
"Back when Vista was still under development I seem to recall
Steve Ballmer telling us that reboots wouldn't happen as much. You
know what? I think he might have been hyping things up. The fact is
Vista is even worse than XP.
"On more than one occasion, I've rebooted to install updates,
and then had to reboot again to install another set of updates! I
suspect somebody at Redmond knows this and giggles like a maniac
whenever they think about it."
