Wherein I ponder, rant, rave or babble semi-coherently on the nature of life, the universe and everything (and here there be memes)

Why, Microsoft? Why?

Why do you want me to install updates every 48 hours?  Why?  Once a week should be WAY more than enough.  But no.  I install updates, and two days later there that annoying exclamation point in a shield on my Sleep button, yelling at me that pressing the ever-so-handy Sleep button will not send my laptop to sleep.  No, no… instead, pressing the no-longer-handy-at-all no-longer-Sleep button installs updates and then shuts down my computer.  This would not be a completely bad thing if it only happened once or twice a month… but every TWO DAYS??

Why, Microsoft?  WHY, for the love of all that’s holy??

This Vista nonsense was not a good idea.  Damn you, Microsoft.

    As an Apple enthusiast I can assure you that they’re not much better. Between apps and updates my poor computer here is downloading 24/7. Oh, gotta run – update time!

    Mr. Aerten is a Mac Evangelist and likes to pretend Macs are SOOOOO much better than Win-PCs. But I do hear him grumbling every now and again about updates… and his last OS upgrade took a very long time, and he was on the phone with Apple support for what seemed like hours.

    Damn, there goes my PC again… talk to you after the updates!
