Here's a new one.

Windows: "Another update has been installed. Your computer will now restart. You're not doing anything important anyway, right?"

Under Vista and 7, you can punt the reboot down the curb pretty much indefinitely.

this

also the number of updates that require a restart are few and far between

I've never understood that image, you don't have to pay for software updates in OSX

They charge for relatively minor point releases of OSX. It'd be like Microsoft charging for service packs. And they've charged for iOS updates in the past.

I beg to differ.

Tiger to Leopard = XP to Vista
Leopard to Snow Leopard = Vista to 7

Not what I meant. They've always charged for 10.1>10.2, etc. Those are major OS upgrades. What the image refers to is that they've charged for updates from 10.2.x to 10.2.x. Also, they have charged for iOS updates in the past, and likely will in the future too. 9.99, I believe the price was.

Even the beta was $30.

That I didn't know.

But going from 10.1 to 10.2 is the same as going from Windows 6 to Windows 7, it's just a different numbering system.

Yeah, that was nice of them. I don't remember though, do the Restart and Postpone buttons still have a key bound to each one? (In the underlined Restart and Postpone style?) That would get me sometimes when I'd be typing something in WinXP - the Restart Now/Later thing would pop up right as I was hitting the wrong key. Boom, computer shut down.


Though come to think of it, since the window has buttons at all, hitting Space or Enter could still trigger the restart, depending on what's selected as default.

Windows Update should simply display a notification by default: "Updates have been installed, and your system needs to be restarted to implement the changes."
(Better yet: Work on the architecture so that rebooting isn't required. )

I always set Windows Update to notify me that updates are available and whether or not to install them. I don't like Windows installing updates until I can at least take a gander at what its installing. With that setting, I'm able to post pone a reboot in 24hour blocks pretty much as long as I want.

guys if you want to talk OS dogma there is a subforum...stuck doing paperwork here and you guys are debating this on a Friday night...I wish I had your free time.

Inaccurate for Linux:

"Cool, more free stuff! Hmm update gcc required? Sure. GLIBC_3.2.5.so not found? Not again! 6hrs of *linux-forums.com later, yaay free update works."

Maybe back in like 1999 with an RPM or source based distro... Any decent distro with a package manager would avoid this.

Yeah, that works at home.

At work, the Windows Updates section is restricted access.


(Oddly enough, I do have access to the Group Policy editor, and there's something in there having to do with the auto restart. We'll see if that works, next time there's an update. )

Many well written applications will prevent windows from simply restarting. Windows will pop up a message saying you have application X running, would you like to stop it before rebooting etc. Even if they don't a popup will appear in the corner of the OS. The thing I really hate is that most games do not do this and the popup is of course hidden cause you are running in full screen DirectX. Say good buy to 1/2 hour of game play. This is why I now have windows set to NOT automatically install updates by itself.

Holy shit take it to another thread already. Post the funnies or gtfo.
