It will never restart on itself unless you have choosen the options to automatically install/update everything.
If you choose custom install/update and ticked the right options it will never restart by itself (just showing you the notification that you need to restart).
Bottom line: choose the correct option.

I have tried out the ribbon quite well. In fact, at work I was forced to use it all the time. And I absolutely hated it. And I was not alone. Now they have downgraded again because of all the complaints (and after a very long "we'll just leave it as it is for now, so people can get used to it" periode).

Exactly the only reason why the ribbon was introduced: because people didn't know what they could do or what the options were in Office.
For people who do know what they can do and know exactly what they need (=also the people who usually turn off the stupid 'personal menus' or 'leave out less used stuff' options as soon as Office is installed), the ribbon is 'useless'...
But those are the opinions of a few people, not the entire (mostly newb) market, of course...

For the rest, funny how MS is once again bashed into the ground with very biased and sometimes even wrong arguments... If only some people knew some more background and insiders info or how stuff really works in the big bussiness world... Some things will never change.... lol
