As a note, when I was developing full time on Ubuntu, I used Ksplice which applied updates without a restart, even kernel updates. OS X still requires restarts after OS changes (in fact, I have a pending update to apply right now), though it's not as bad as Windows.

Windows and OSX's unpredictability with time for updates to install is a key issue. Sometimes my machine can be down for 20-30 minutes, which as a developer completely ruins flow. So I put off any restarting update for as long as I can tolerate the stupid annoying box.

How about working on getting me updates-without-restarts like ksplice instead of changing the colour of the buttons.
