They interrupt the work flow, IMO. There are so many unimportant messages that people ignore them, which means they are also ignoring the ones that might actually be relevant.

I think the document coming out of the printer makes that obvious. The one that bugs me the most is the one that says the plot/publish job finished with no errors.

I could possibly see if you were a single user that you might want to be notified in this manner about an update for instance... But any installation that originates from a deployment should have all of this stuff turned off by default. Our end users do not need to know about updates, subscription renewal, or anything else - all they should be doing is being productive...

I've gotten to a point where for the most part I just ignore the bubbles, and we used Owen's lisp to remove the info center, so we dont need to worry about the subscription bubbles.

I'd bet the vast majority of users don't even have a need to know it. Heck in every company I've ever worked at the people using the software have nothing to do with the subscription. Besides the reseller knows when your subscription runs out and you can be sure they'll get a hold of you before it happens. Why the heck would we need something that silly.

It is a pet-peeve of mine when software, Windows is notorious, keeps interrupting you while you work. I don’t like them.
