An open note to Microsoft

[azurelunatic]

WHEN I UPGRADED MY MACHINE TO WINDOWS 10 I WAS NOT EXPECTING YOU TO CHANGE THE SETTING THAT MEANT MY MACHINE WOULD NOT REBOOT ON ME WHEN IT HAD UPDATES.

MACHINES REBOOTING ON ME WHEN THEY HAVE UPDATES TEND TO GET MY ATTENTION. YOUR CAREFUL CHOICE TO REBOOT "WHILE NOT IN USE" MEANT THAT IT REBOOTED APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS INTO MY SLEEP CYCLE.

FUCKERS WOKE ME UP.

DON'T FUCKING WAKE ME UP, ASSHOLES.

THEN MY WINDOWS 7 BOX REBOOTED. LOUDLY. IN DEFIANCE OF MY PREFERENCES.

FUCK YOU.

You know, for most things, I actually really like Windows as a product. But the "automatic reboot if you don't tell it not to" has been one of the most broken, loathed settings for over a decade, and I have no idea why they do not get rid of it.

Yup.

They don't seem to understand that some people have computers in their bedroom.
