Some pigheaded know-it-alls STILL don't get it!

FOR THE LAST TIME: there are some vista updates that WILL auto reboot
your PC!!

I went more than 3-5 months before i notice it happen ( today). Dont
keep trying to tell me it doesnt happen--IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY, while i
was as the PC. Once i saw an icon on the taskbar, i clicked it and saw
a timer count down..it was at 2 seconds and then it shut down windows.

No, am not hallucinating. I don't see little green men. thanks again
for the great computing experience, MS.

its hard to believe that this is the first time i noticed this, seeing
as i got my vista machine in May. I do remember seeing someone complain
of this issue a while back, on this NG. There are a few naysayers that
insist Vista wont do that, which is why i created this thread. We know
better now, don't we!! thanks for post.

Our windows and vista machines do this when the users are not logged
into them and they auto-update, they always ask when the user is logged
into them.

Who's being the stubborn jerk here? Did he say that you are not
experiencing the symptoms that you say you are? NO. He was simply
stating the way HIS machines behave. HIS experience. You are being the
jerk here, calling HIS observations BS.

As for MY observations, I have never experienced this behavior in the
8-9 months I've been using Vista. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm
just saying that I haven't observed it happening. I have my updates set
to install at 3 am. If the machine is asleep, it will wake up long
enough to install them. It may reboot (most likely it does), but I am
not normally awake to see, so I don't know. I HAVE seen instances where
updates were downloaded, but not installed, and a little window popped
up telling me that the machine needed to be rebooted, however it gave me
the option to restart later.

So, I really don't know what is causing the behavior that you describe,
but just realize that for every other person that's observing that same
problem, there is at least one other person that HASN'T encountered it.

Because if you are doing some kinds of jobs like I mentioned that's
been running 14 hours the reboot kills the job and you have to start
over. Result, you wasted 14 hours of your time. Get it?

You can't play solitaire for 14 hours.
You can't stay awake for 3 continuous hours.

You can't be anything but some clueless asshole that refuses to admit
he's wrong even when the facts are staring him in the face, as I've
proved several times already with your rant on Jupiter's core that you
still refuse to admit you got totally wrong. You're such a moron you
didn't even bother to read the web page that you offered as proof of
your opinion. You're such a damn dummy you didn't even see YOUR cite
was 180 degrees opposite to what you claimed. You got to be a special
kind of stupid to be that dumb, but pal, you are that dumb.

What really gets the underwear of the fanboy crowd all bunched up is
they know damn well there are many people that use their computers in
far more advanced ways then fanboy flunkies could even dream was
possible.

So OF COURSE, more advanced users will tend to run into more
idiosyncrasies that Vista displays under such conditions then some
idiot fanboy that thinks he's a big shot computer expert when all uses
his computer for is surfing the web, reading email or acting like a
damn fool in newsgroups.

Hear me laughing at you? You're just an idiot like Frank is.
