So I'm at someone else's house using my laptop for a little bit. Going home, so I turn off my laptop (running on my stupid Windows partition ). My computer then decides that right then is the best time to install 116 updates. By the time I got home it's up to update 50 and it's still running now.
hur hur
one time i tried Faronics DeepFreeze... worked AWESOME until windoze decided to install updates without asking.
Constant reboot applying updates, it felt like i stuck in Groundhog Day.

I've never had any issues with windows and updates without asking just means you didn't go configure how the updates work. I did my first bunch of updates in 5 minutes do you have dial up still?
I stopped bothering with Windows Update after a while and turned automatic off. They have basically no impact as long as your firewall, Anti-Virus etc aren't garbage and you're not running Vista.
