Windows Update

I’d like to go ahead and nominate this Windows Update nag dialog as quite possibly one of the most poorly designed user interface ‘features’ in the history of computing. This thing has come up probably 20 times already today.

I know that Vista has an option to delay the restart for up to a few hours, but really, just leave me the hell alone and let me decide when I want to restart my computer. Otherwise, give me the option to disable this nag without having to resort to complicated registry hacks. Thanks.
