Please explain how users have to "babysit" Vista. I really don't see how you have to babysit it any more than any other OS. If you are referring to it prompting you for a password to permit an activity, many linux distro's will do the same thing. The alternative option is having it flat out denying access when the current user doesn't have the proper permissions to do what the software is attempting to do. This seems more of a convienience to me so I don't have to log out and log in as an administrator just to allow a program to run, I can simply type the administrator password.
"wuauclt.exe" is the program used for automatic updates. Its in the "System32" directory. However i believe that the downloads are done with a activex control.
By extension:"Power not detected - press RESET when cord plugged back in.""No monitor detected - this message is not being displayed.""Mouse appears to be upside down. Press little ball thing when flipped over.""No operator found. Please dial 0 for assistance."
More like stupid user error setting up DEP and removing Windows Updates from the Exception list. Sorry IT person who's seen this before from some mighty stupid users that think that WUpdate.exe means that someone is hacking into their computer. I only wish I could take the computer away from these users but my bosses won't let me.

You guys should check out <a class="user" href="http://thedailywtf.com/">http://thedailywtf.com/</a> when they do pop-up potpourris. Lots of stupid error dialogs.
