Yes, I believe most here would acknowledge the flaw. But we all still ridicule the OP for knowing about it and still trying to flame MS for his failure to save his work. That will never change no matter how much you try to convince us otherwise. Yes, you can be really narrow and say MS has a flaw, but that's besides the point. We don't live in a vacuum where you can just cling to that one thing. While that is true, it is a flaw, the OP tried to blame the flaw when his own neglect caused him to lose work.
Another way to look at what you just said:
If there is a salmonella outbreak for Jiffy brand peanut butter all over the news, and you see several news stories about deaths because of it, would you still continue to make sandwiches with Jiffy peanut butter that you you purchased before you heard about the outbreak?
Yes, he ended up in the hospital, I understand that. I've been in the hospital too, and have worked remotely while not being able to get out of bed due to life threatening illness as well. So? You claimed that he was unable to save his work because of some freak accident. I'm saying that has nothing to do with the mistake he made.
Let's assume he had unsaved work when his accident took place. This means he left his computer with unsaved work. That's his bad.
Let's assume the accident happened while he was at his computer. He still remoted into his computer several times, in between intermittent bouts of consciousness, and still failed to save his work. That's still his bad.
Let's assume the saved work is all stuff he started while he was in the hospital, remoting in, and he didn't save it before the auto-restart. That's STILL his bad.
I don't think you understand. He remoted in with the intention of saving and salvaging it before something like that happened but could not stay conscious long enough to do so. He was suddenly overcome and, after that, made attempts but was unable to do anything but trust that MS would not restart his PC, which was a risk he chose to take long ago and hoped would not come to this. He did not forfeit his right to complain about MS' error.
