Alex,
They were responding to my question of auto-downloading, nothing that you
said.
Thank you for clearing this up, it's very difficult to see all the sides of
the puzzle, and I really appreciate the responses...

Not sure about what your whole reply meant.
I think that notifying on startup has many disadvantage and it's not
applicable in some cases (kernel upgrades, autologin).
It's not wonder windows why asks for it at the shutdown.

Like I said, update-manager doesn't go away. It just gets more or less
deprecated for most users. For this small subset we just fallback to current

Me personally, I don't have a *huge *issue presenting updates at the
beginning of a log-in sequence. As a user, you know they are there, and you

I can't help but think though, that when I login to my desktop normally, the

fast asleep dreaming of sugar plums and sexy librarians Ubuntu packagers
were hard at work

I had meant to chat with Martin Pitt after his plenary, but never managed to
catch up with him. I forgot about it until I was going through my notebook
