Good for you.
It was not apparent from your post that you were talking about anything other than Windows itself.
Awesome, we are in agreement. Incidentally, what do you call mandatory reboots when you are in the middle of working on something?
Now, back to the topic at hand -- did you or did you or did you not erroneously misinterpret my words to derive the conclusion that linux has mandatory "Updates are available"-type nagging?
File a bug report with Microsoft. |
First off I interpreted your words to mean that Linux will attempt to download updates whether you want it to or not. And probably install them. I do not think them evil if they do, just another reason for me not to go Linux.
Anyway enlighten me.
Mandatory reboots are when it arbitrarily reboots when you are working something with or without a warning to save your work. Or reboots when you have been working on something, but are away from your desk to eat, talk to someone, fed the fishes etc. Maybe it warned you, maybe it didn't. Or when you are watching a show on your computer in bed and have just rolled over to listen to the last 5 minutes while you doze off and sudden silence. I am annoyed by this so I just can't drift off. Got to wait till it finishes, put in the password, find the show again. Really annoyed by the time this is over. Happens at least once a week.
And based on what you have said, is my impression, which I think I qualified at the time that you are a Linux user wrong? Or even pejorative. I certainly hope that I didn't imply or state you are totally ignorant on the subject. I can use Linux, IOS and Android and quite often help people with who use these OS regularly. I can always look things up and usually fix them.
Can't say I am sensitive enough to get even a little bent out of shape if someone implied, hinted or outdate stated that I was less than an expert in all or any, including Windows. Because I know I am not.
