Wrote lengthy descriptions for four videos I was about to upload to YouTube. Then my computer restarts before I can save the document. Once it rebooted, I got a message saying my computer was restarted for updates. Apparently, it's the new "piss the fuck out of Howie" patch I've heard so much about.
Fuck off, Windows Vista.
I had something similar happen to me. I was downloading a REALLY large file on Bittorrent so I decided to leave my PC on overnight so it could finish a good part of it. I wake up to find my PC restarted overnight for stupid a updateFuck off, Windows Vista.


This actually reminds me of a funny thing my friend said. We were talking about how awful Microsoft can be at making things practical and started talking about a game where you destroy their office. Then we had a laugh where one mission would be to blow up their tech support and then we laughed and said "What tech support?"

On a serious note, does Microsoft even have tech support? If not, no wonder why Vista failed, there was no way to send feedback on how cruddy the OS was

Well, any OS that's newer than XP SP2 will force critical security updates if you have them turned on. Either way, you should have your options set to "Download the latest updates but let me choose whether to install them" or "Scan for updates but let me download and install them" if you do things like torrenting overnight or leaving your computer idle with unsaved work on it. Howie, if it literally restarted while you were working on the document, the prompt probably popped up right when you hit the Spacebar, which would cause the "Restart" button to be clicked. That sucks though 
PS Windows 7 is better :>

Oddly enough I rather like Vista. Sure, XP is better, but I'm not gonna get rid of Vista until I get a new lappy. Which will have W7 on it, and likely SP[whatever].

It's bearable but it still makes me want throw my computer across the room and out my window, and consequently falling on someone's head.
Wow, that was excessively morbid.

Got that too. I was listening to Programmed World through my YT channel, and when I went back, I got the message. This was about two days ago, for the record.

That was neither hot nor DDR-like.
Dr. Dre had it right on that Dr. Pepper commercial. If you want it to be hot, make it slow.
