Windows.Update--

Best. Windows. Update. Timing. EVAR.

So, we're sitting in the Mudge TV lounge watching Nightmare Before Christmas on Mike's laptop... and suddenly it STOPS.... and the computer reboots. And when it comes back -- Windows Update finishes installing the latest patch!

That gets bonus points for extra-special stupidity.

EDIT: I stand corrected: it wasn't Windows Update, it was Norton Antivirus. But still... gah.

There is a balance here since a Windows machine is, 9-times-out-of-10, still vulnerable if patched but not yet rebooted. Some of our people get pissed at having to reboot while they're in the middle of a run, but that's just the price you must pay to use Windows.
