I got repeatedly annoyed today by what I consider typical behavior for Microsoft products. Windows has the option to perform automatic updates - and recommends to do so in the Security Center (no one wants to see red lights in their Security Center. Does CODE RED mean anything to you? Also, everybody just LOVES updates. Unless it's from Adobe).
After automatic updates does its thing, it promptly suggests to restart the computer. Two options are given - Restart now and Restart later. What 'Restart now' does should be obvious, however 'Restart later' is apparently open to interpretation - as Windows will constantly remind you to restart every 10 minutes or so, and will forcibly restart the computer itself if left unattended.
