WTF, who thought of this feature??? I can only count the number of times I've lost work because the system "automatically restarted". Maybe one day we will be completely free of this buggy os. (it always feels better after you vent!)

how about you don't update while you work
or start reading every message that pops up,you can always cancel it and turn off automatic update.
- it still sucks. really...no one expects it to restart the auto-update after you told it to cancel. but it does.uan

You can, if your paying attention. I use a mac primarily and don't stare for hours at Windows. I will cancel the updates, but why not just a button that says, "Restart Now?", why would that be too much to ask?

Is windows that hard to master?
maybe I should start teaching a master course.

Lol! I've never, ever had my computer restart like that!
There is a button that says 'Restart'
You need to stop those auto updates

"I have heard at least a half dozen people in my tweet stream complain about the forced windows restart today"
"Why after all these years is the default behavior of Windows to force quit any open program and restart my computer without giving any notification? Or if there was a notification, I never saw it because I was in the middle of a game, which got totally interrupted by having my computer force a reboot. Yes, I've changed my automatic updates options again to prevent it next time, at least until it decides to revert back to the default a few months down the road."
These comments are from the past 3 days, spot13 is right.

Windows is for real computer users. Macs are just expensive toys.
- Windows is an OS not a computer. I run Ubuntu Linux, Windows 7 and OS X 10.6 on my Mac and I can say Win7 sucks balls.spot13

If you are having restarts in the middle of the day like that, you need to spend the 2 minutes to configure it to do otherwise. it's only doing what it's being told to do.

funny thing is.... often enough when I try force shutdown myself.... I come back on monday morning and it's asking me if i'm sure I want to shut down because I still have windows explorer open
I mean seriously?
- this happen to me more often than the computer shuting down by itselfgeorgesIII

...and I'm sorry to hear that georges and monospaced are financially unable to afford a more advanced operating system. perhaps we could start a fund.
- what a smug comment. typical for a mac user tho ..plash
- I don't generalize, I pointed out what I felt was a problem with Windows and I'm told I'm a retard.spot13
- Seems Windows users really took offense to an apparent programming flaw? nothing to do with Mac.spot13
- So you want to bitch; Blame your inability on the Whole of the OS and expect no retorts?plash
- Correctspot13
- ahh.. well gfy ... this isn't that kind of board..plash
- How is it a programming error?404NotFound

This happened once because I forgot I started the update and didn't check the 'restart in 5 min' window. I knew about it though, my fault.
