While I agree having to restart a computer after an update is annoying (sometimes the reason is a good one and sometimes it is just from lazy programming; frankly, I just don't care), one can always delay installing updates until just before one can shut down at the end of the day or just don't restart until the end of the day (Microsnot updates are an exception since, if you don't keep telling them not to, they will just up and do it behind your back; those I update just before I'm going to shut down, generally just letting it happen while I'm sleeping). I run my computer 24/7 and need to restart every few days to clear up any glitches that may sneak in during that time so I just don't feel its that big a deal. I prefer to wait a couple of days before installing updates just to make sure they aren't buggy (it's been known to happen; reports of it come out pretty quickly) so I can pretty much pick my time. It's just not worth getting all out of joint over it.
