To me, the single biggest fault -- one that very nearly made me just get up and go the the nearest Apple store, right then and there -- is the fact that Windows STILL will force a reboot of your machine while unattended (I did figure out how to turn that off, but your average user would not be able to do it). Whoever decided to make it default to forcing a reboot is unforgivably stupid.
Not to mention: why is it, that in 2010, we have an OS that still requires reboots at least 3 times a week?
- kenjackson 16y agoWhy do you reboot three times a week? What are you doing? I've never seen anyone have that problem.
- what 16y agoI would guess automatic updates are on and they require a reboot?
- kenjackson 16y agoI don't think so. I have auto updates and I don't get three updates per week. I _believe_ the only updates that will automatically reboot are critical updates.
- kenjackson 16y agoI've verified that this should only happen with critical updates. But you can stop auto-reboots on automatic update with a registry setting. See: http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/totw/au.asp http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/totw/au.asp
- usaar333 16y agoThe other design flaw is why it needs to reboot on every system update. One of the things that I love about Linux is what you only need to reboot to use a new kernel. 95+% of system updates will activate without reboot.
