God, I HATE Microsoft!
Many products on my PC download important updates that require the PC to be restarted. Fair enough, sometimes registry files are changed and the updates won’t take effect until you re-boot. I accept that!
However, most products I use tell me that an update has been installed that requires the PC to be rebooted before the update will take effect, then I am given the option to reboot now or let me reboot when I am ready.
Not Microsoft – no, they tell you an update has been installed and your PC needs rebooting – you do get the option to reboot later but that just suppresses the message for five minutes then if you don’t suppress the message, your PC get’s automatically rebooted.
It may come as a great surprise to Mr Gates, but I am actually quite competent with a computer and I am capable of making my own decisions as to when I want to reboot my PC. What happens if this message were to appear when I was leaving my PC defragging – I wouldn’t be sitting at my PC so wouldn’t suppress the message and the reboot would happen and would no doubt cock up my defrag.
I HATE MICROSOFT.
