What's up with the forced Windows updates? Did your computer restart on its own last night too?!
It seems like MS assumes that forced restarts are OK to inflict as long as they properly save all un-saved documents. That may have been a safe assumption 10 years ago, but is a ridiculous assumption in 2006.
What's growingly important is all those windows that were simply open - browser windows, word documents I was reading, videos/podcasts I was in the middle of viewing/listening, etc, etc. It's knowing what was open, and in what state, that matters. Heck - Windows is not even 'aware' anymore of most of the un-saved docs I have at any given moment, because most of them are in browser windows which Windows never considers as un-saved.
It seems that Microsoft fails to understand that saving my open docs is solving probably 5% of what's needed before inflicting a restart. If you are going to hit me with a restart, make sure my computer is back to its identical state after the restart.
Thank god I at least have Firefox with the excellent must-have SessionSaver extension...
