They get their machine pre-configured from the company and only the IT department can make changes. So not only do they not have the cancel button, but they can not do the registry change to prevent the automatic reboot. They have a great incentive to leave their machine on over night for the monthly updates. It gets interesting if you are out of town for the updates, as you are not supposed to leave your laptop connected to the hotel Internet connection overnight. You also can not make a VPN connection back to the company network if you are using a WiFi connection. (They have just added broadband wireless, and that is allowed.)
