Yeah, it's a stupid idea.
Here's what I should have said: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555444
Also, does your machine directly download updates, or does one of your companies servers hold them? Preventing IE7 from entering the update queue shouldn't be up to the user and patches should be approved before sending out.

Boot it into windows before you leave and set ubuntu to shut down on login screen at midnight. And let all the super critical updates run. Those mandatory reboots are useless, and someone's tried to sue microsoft over work lost due to them.
Also, I think a window that requires input on save can block the shutdown, such as an unsaved word doc.
