Vista - How DARE MS shut down my PC automatically to install updates!!

10-11-2007

This sort of behavior on MS's part is reprehensible and outrageous. How
bizarre that MS would elect to shut down users PC's using a timer
function, rather than allow users to choose when to shut down to finish
installation of updates. Brickbats to Gates & Company. No wonder I
cant stand Microsux.

I guess its time that i disable updates. That way I'll not have my
computing interrupted on Microsux's schedule. Scum sucking monopolistic
jerkass company. Any MS apologists here can save their breath--if you
try to excuse the inexcusable, all you do is drop your credibility to zero.

If you hate it so much why do you bother using it?

Exactly! I, myself, was on the way to a personal high score at Solitare when
it came time for my nap. Upon return from repose, my score was gone!

I had to go have a lie-down.

You dear sir should have set the solitaire setting that 'saves on close'.
Then, you could still be working on your score.

These nitwits should stop their bawling and LEARN how to configure Windows
Update.

So, so simple to do...

The issue is not so simple as just one of proper configuration of
windows update. Please read the following:

And just what is "not so simple" as NOT choosing automatic downloading and
installation of updates? There are TWO other options, no?

you missed the point i made in a subsequent post on this thread. to
wit: i hadn't heretofore HAD ANY ISSUE WITH UDPDATE. Today was the
first day it screwed me over. can u get that through your MS-apologist
skull????
Sheesh!!

No wonder very few issues get resolved on this forum--Vista is too lame
to fix, and posters here posing as useful contributors don't READ and
COMPREHEND complaints. I still have a number of unresolved issues that
no one can come up with a fix for, so refer back to the previous sentence...
