Thank you for providing links to methods for overcoming the rebooting issue, which once more indicates Vista may reboot without users' consent by default.
了解了，你強調的是 Default 的設定，而不是 Vista 能不能「更新後不自動重開機」的問題。
correct.

我認為，既然可以輕易把系統改成「更新後不自動重開機」，就不能說是 unethical。自動更新後可以「自動」重新開機，這其實是一個把更新過程「自動化」的「功能」。也許你不需要這種功能，但那只說明這個功能不適合你，微軟為一般人設想的設定不適合你，而不是 unethical。
假如微軟認為這個預設值適合大部分的人，但其實很多人都不喜歡這個預設值，那就代表微軟的這個預設值是愚蠢的，而不是 unethical；假如微軟知道大部分人都不喜歡這個預設值，但為了讓大家盡量使用安裝好更新檔的系統，仍執意把「更新後要重新開機」當成預設值，

I take your point.
However, I am sure there are a number of people not aware of such auto-reboot feature. At the time when they first realise Vista's auto-reboot feature was the
default setting, they might have lost their valuable data or their intensive over-night number crunching tasks being interrupted , which, most likely, wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

之前討論過的「自動安裝更新」的問題，其實也一樣，你不想自動安裝更新檔？ok，預設值不適合你，這一點也不 unethical，因為不管是 Firefox 或 Microsoft，都可在選項內調整設定。你覺得這種作法很爛，那只是這個作法不適合你，而不是說什麼強迫人家更新是很 unethical 的。畢竟，對其他人來說，自動更新、自動安裝更新，可能是相當方便的功能。
As for Firefox's auto-updating feature (
default setting), which is not as bad as Vista's rebooting system. However, the auto-updating feature was
enabled by
default is one method to push people using the latest version. I know there are a number of Firefox users can't wait not to have the latest version, but there are some who don't see the point of being forced to update.
Regardless of users' option on rushing to the latest version, Firefox
forced users who do not check preferences thoroughly and those who don't have confidence to change the default settings to update their browsers without their consent.
I call such method a
dirty tactic, which implies it is
unethical.
