XP Shutdown

I checked today and I still have a lot of extra gas in my spleen so I
guess I'll vent again...

What bright mind decided that the time to
install updates is during the shutdown process? We use XP as the host
sytems for VM's at school. The class ran a little late and we were
asked to help by shutting down and removing the hard drives. Nothing
like noticing "Installing 1 of 9" in response to your clicking on
"Shutdown".

Grr...
