thanks a lot, Cody ;)
Is the "Restart To Complete Updates.." text red now?

This solution is functional, but far from elegant, as you already pointed out between the lines.
* Log Out
* Suspend
* Hibernate
* Restart
* Shutdown
All verbs.
All unambiguous instructions.
"Restart Required" was different completely in that Restart is a noun here, first of all.
This was inconsistent and confusing.. good we got rid of it!
The new formulation is definitely closer to a correct solution..
On the other hand, adding a whole sentence where a single word (Restart) worked perfectly introduces a regression problem, but i'll stop my bikeshed commentary for now ;)
Which is better than having an ambiguous menu item which user would not
easily understand.
MPT's spec¹ places an info icon beside the "Restart" menu item, when a
restart is required. I think adding this visual metaphor contributes greatly to solving our problem.
