On initial install, the setup routine reboots the computer a number of times, so there should be one of the "geniuses" at Microsoft who could figure out how to complete the update on shutdown and THEN shut the machine off and avoid the wasted time on startup.
JMHO
The complexity of those upgrades compounds itself to a level that make you really wonder how anything gets done. If your company had 10,000 PC's that were 100% identical then the upgrades would be the least intrusive. But Microsoft has to take into account all of the hundreds of different vendor products and how each vendor driver interacts with other software elements before and after any of those upgrades. As people are quick to point out, hackers love to pounce on Microsoft as quickly and painfully as possible so with every upgrade there are doors (ports) opened that were not intended to be opened so they work non stop to close those loop holes, memory leaks, bugs or sometimes just bad code creation. I too get irritated when I want to shutdown my laptop so I can leave work only to see the message, "Update in progress, Do Not Power Off your machine"... The best you can do is mess with your update/reboot schedule to maybe only occur during your lunch break everyday. What really bothers me is there is no way to tell what is being downloaded when they are doing their upgrades. All I can see is there is traffic coming in sucking all of my country hick ISP bandwidth which really makes it hard to watch all those really cool YouTube videos which I call, "YouTube Hell".
