Why powercut sucks this week

Mostly because when I was on my XP machine, it took ten minutes or so to do a reboot. I'll put up with that when I turn it on - I can go for a coffee - but not just at the whim of Microshaft!
Ideological Purity is no substitute for being able to stick your thumb down a pipe to stop the water
Don't talk to me about the reboot time, Win7 and every sercurity product ever invented to kill a processor. Reboot takes about 5 minutes till the network come on line. I have to reboot a couple of times a day and it just pisses me off severely.

So when Microshaft starts insisting you do it *NOW* do you do it straight away? :laugh:

The perfect example I was looking for, in XP admittedly, why the fucking hell don't you reboot when it shows up. You KNOW it won't go away until you do but Oh no you're not going to interupt what you're doing you'll just put up with the nag screen, talk about stoopid! The 1 vote is to balance the idiot that thinks this ignorance is cool

The computer is supposed to be a tool, not something that dictates working patterns. If I'm in the middle of coding (and hey, it's my job, I'm usually in the middle of coding something) then I don't want the computer telling me it needs a five minute timeout and that it wants to close all the windows that I have open because I want the contents visible for my work! Enforced updates are a significant hit on productivity and I have them turned off ... it can update when I tell it that's okay, thank you very much.

Sure but my updates turn turn up when I turn on the PC, which takes forever anyway so giving the update 5 minutes and another 5 to reboot before I get into the daily is not a problem. As said 90% of the time I shut down overnight.
