This is looking like the shape of things to come. Optimus have been showing samples of this keyboard on all the technical forums for a while now and it seems that they have a 3 button version working and ready for preorder. It will be interesting to see if they manae to pull this off. Imagine a keyboard with tiny screens under each key that can change to a shortcut icon depending on which progam you are using. We will have to wait and see if they actually work…

Thankfully, if you own Windows XP Professional, there is a solution:

Disable Auto Restart in Windows Update

Very useful stuff!
