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.

Augh. No, no, no. Some of us actually have things going on in the background that your reboot causes problems with...

I quite like IRC, for example. And I'd left the Excel file I was working on at 1am open, so I could maybe pick away at it some more before heading off to work.

oh nooooo I hope you saved

[azurelunatic]

I had! Happily. Because I don't trust Excel.

[sithjawa]

Your lack of trust was justified, it seems.

Upon opening the file at work, it crashed Excel twice when I tried to resize the window.
