We've had a couple reports of this at the Internet Storm Center as well.

Lots of Blue screens.

On the desktop machine I've got Auto Updates full on.  So, of course,
yesterday 
the machine patched and rebooted while I was away from the desk (it
seems to 
sense lack of user presence somehow).  And, of course, I didn't see
this until this 
morning.

I've lucked out and I didn't get a blue screen.
