Okay, now I understand why some of you are so excited about Chromebooks not having updates like PCs. I rarely use a Windows 7 laptop in my house, but I fired one up today to do a little streaming. Program after program interrupted everything to insist it needed an update. I agreed to all of them and waited for them to finish.
Then I was ready to turn off the laptop so we could have dinner. Pressed "Shut Down." A blue screen comes up telling me there are 33 updates installing and I am not to unplug my laptop or power it down until they all finish. 30 minutes (!??!!?!?) later, they finish. That is unconscionable! When I tell my laptop to shut down, I don't want to be held prisoner for a half hour.
Reminds me why I love Macs so much. They never do that to me. And when there are updates, at least it has the decency to ask before holding me hostage.
