Deep joy!
Yes, I became painfully aware of the first one when my PC spontaneously rebooted last night without so much as a warning losing me a couple of hours work and the movie I was in the middle of watching :slap:
Another good reason to uncheck Automatic Updates. ;)
Mine seem to have installed without too much of a drama, although, the PC did reboot itself twice after the installation. Seems fine now, though.

I can't really afford to do that because of the work I do. The annoying thing is that Windows 7 Pro has option which allows you to automatically download updates but it will not reboot your PC. Unfortunately I appear to be using the crippled home version on this PC :'(
