No, there's one worse feeling. Walking up to the machine that was supposed to work throughout the night, and seeing it had a surprise update that rebooted the system.

One of my favorite things about ditching Windows.

This is no longer just a Windows feature. The same thing happened to me the other day on MacOS. They recently shipped a "background" update to fix a security issue and it quite unceremoniously rebooted the machine to apply the update.

And it's why I don't use Ubuntu any more. I don't know if it still automatically updates and reboots, but neither do I care.

When did Ubuntu do that? It's been my main OS since 05 and I can't recall that ever happening?

[stavros]

It has never done that.
