You're leaving your session and then a pop up dialog appears praying: "There is a new version of my freaking program".
Would you like to get it?
User friendlyness
I would probably fall for that, as long as I am actually browsing the website of a program that I care. If I am browsing porn and see that, I'd immediately dismiss the dialog and get a fever.
whenever I see update dialogues I either update from the program itself afterward, or I go find how to turn off apple's updater again.
I live on the Edge, I don't update.
Seriously though, I like reminders for important Apps ( Antivirus, Firewall, etc..) and my everyday tools.
But getting Updates for useless Apps that I couldn't care less about to update drives me insane (DVD Player, Weird Printer Software that I didn't know I had, Itunes...)

Quicktime is the one that always gets me. It's just like, "No. I don't want fucking quicktime. Nobody wants fucking quicktime. Try to sell me quicktime one more time and I'm switching to zune."
I like what Ubuntu does. When it boots, the update manager pops up as one of the startup apps. You click "install updates" and minimize it. It only occasionally requires a reboot, and unlike windows, "reboot later" seems to be a perfectly valid option most the time. The nice thing is all apps installed with the package manager get updates through the update manager (and that is usually everything on the PC). I don't have to worry about any specific app. I don't have a dozen stupid auto-update programs running (Adobe! Quicktime!, I'm looking at both of you). Much like windows update, it can be intrusive sometimes, but you can always click the "x" and make it go away till next reboot.
I guess i'm sort of weird...
I update my archlinux box every day or so, because that's the power of arch...
However my windows boxes are still XP SP1 because everything else sucks...

I'm sorry but can you justify how XP SP1 is better than XP SP3?

You know, SP3 is like 300MB security updates and shit. SP1 is a pretty cool guy. Eh has unpatched IE6 and doesn't afraid of anything
