Hmm... I have my Windows XP set to "turn off automatic updates". I'll periodically manually apply the updates that seem important given my Windows use patterns, and that hasn't happened in quite a while. My computer did not reboot last night, however when I look at my automatic update settings now, none of the options are selected. Fishy, indeed.
