A friend of ours has an ibm thinkpad (model 1492). He leaves the battery in even though he has the laptop plugged in to the ac transformer. A few days ago the computer got left on overnight (he usually turns it off after using it) and in the morning the battery was dead, even though it was plugged...

One would think that Microsoft would have put a hook in the firewall to allow Windows Update to function, but nope. If you use outbound protection it doesn't work until I allow wuapp.exe and svchost.exe to pass through and then Windows throws a fit because you created a rule that may conflict...
