Ha ha, nope not at all. I hate that shit. Always when I'm doing something else. Who the hell wants to sit around waiting for their computer to shut down and reboot for 2-3 minutes. This is the information age, I could be halfway to the library by car in that span of time.

Definitely Not! I am sure there tons of other people who do the same exact thing. I know I do it every single time I update. But I am using Newgrounds Linux right now so it's a bit different.

Usually I wait cause i'm doin shit

Who's hiding their identity behind a lame alternate account here? As if there were any real lasting wrath to be incurred from calling some dude a pussy for no apparent reason online.

"Oh, you don't want to shut down right now? Well how long should we wait before we remind you again? It would be just terrible if you waited until you were done using your computer before you shut it down.
-1 minute
- 5 minutes
- 10 minutes"

Why can't I just shut down the computer at my leisure?

I've been victimized by this more times than any of you here. Once a week, every week. God damn, Microsoft knows how to piss me off.

Jesus, 2-3 minutes? That seems a little bit excessive.

Usually, I don't worry about that, because in Win 7, you can postpone the updates for up to four hours.

But the odd thing is, I haven't had any automatic update notices for a very long while now...

I swear every time I install the recent security updates from Microsoft my comp goes kerfuck'd and I start getting bsod and error messages for devices I don't even have. It's like MS is trying to brute force me and shit up my disk. I just turn off or deny any updates from here on out. I know they're out to get me.

Automatic Updates...
