Ok, based on these questions I'm not convinced you carefully read my entire post. I addressed these in my story, but I'm happy to do so a second time.

What gave you this impression? This is absolutely not the case. If you reread my scenario, you'll see that potentially all you do at login is authorize the updates (in the non-reboot case). Once you've said "ok, update" you continue to the desktop, where download/install can happen. In the case that a reboot will be required, you are given the option to wait or proceed.
Downloads take time, also when the user is connected to via a secure
*wireless connections the connection is established ONLY after login* ,
which allows the passkey use!
We have already taken the user's password/username, they're effectively logged in, just not to their normal desktop session. We can connect to a network by this point.
