Right, Windows has similar issues, ... nagging ordinary users with 
popups they are not supposed/not knowledgeable to process is a very 
questionable design.

It's appropriate for "single-user/single-seat" "personal" setups, but 
not for "office"/"production" environment desktop and 
networked/centrally adminstrated installations.
