have u considered that these update windows WONT GET NOTICED, when the
user is working in other windows and only noticed the new window after
all other windows are closed? at the end of the day, when all work is
done and when the user is about to shutdown, he notices the update for a
 huge update[since 7 days of wait], which he could have done while he
was working.
but now he has to wait for the update to complete before he leaves or if
he chooses not to update, he will only be reminded of the update next
week, or he has to remember that he needs to update on the next boot? so
that adds another 3 - 4 steps[ "MEMORIZE to update the
 system in the morning"] to the new design

pls dont be close minded while designing!
