Microsoft Windows Automatic Update Part 2: Let's Restart This Fucker

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, this appears on my fantabulous Windows XP screen:

Please, kind reader, take note that the "Restart Later" button is grayed out.  Oh ingenious Microsoft, how ever did you devise this wonderful plan?  I have 2 choices:

1) Restart Now.

2) Restart in 8 minutes and 45 seconds.

Never mind the fact that I spent 10 minutes opening all the documents I am working on.  Don't worry that I am in the middle of a presentation to a client.  Pay no attention to the will of the silly user.  If we need to restart, no better time than now.  Or in 8 minutes and 45 seconds from now.

It's like a ticking time bomb right there on my screen.  Will I get everything saved before you force restart?  Can I get through this presentation before my screen goes dark?  Will my client mind waiting for me to start a new WebEx and conference call while you freshen up?  It's almost too much excitement to handle!

Oh, Microsoft, how I love thee.  Each and every day I am surprised and amazed by your many, many demonic and wholly unnatural ways.
