} Updating to 7.0 and having it reboot will cause the machine to then try

This APPEARS to mean and imply:
"After you have taken the 7.0 updates, you should not allow your
workstation to reboot under any circumstances. In particular, you can
now no longer get a workstation out of a hung state with the useful,
all-purpose, reboot button. From now on (until some other, unspecified
release) you're just stuck."
If this is not what you meant to say or imply, please clarify.
Thank you,
