> Today: You have to do it in some software menu, but invoking this, you're not even powering it off. You're requesting your computer to "pretty please, with sugar on top, turn off my computer when you're not too busy."

This captures my sentiment towards current trends in technology so aptly. I went to turn off a Windows machine the other day and the only options required allowing an update to be performed. There was no way to shut down or restart without allowing an upgrade. Fortunately I could bypass via the command line but this level of mediation is unwanted and abhorrent.
