Try auto-updating several months worth of stuff at once. Your computer is useless for a week

@Amanda: Biff has no silly underwear! He owns awesome underwear only!:):)

I like his socks. Very good strip!
I blocked all the win update, so I install it only if I want to:)

Hah. Automatic updates. You have 8 things open, haven’t saved a thing, and poof. “HI WE’RE REBOOTING NOW LOL.” There goes the first hour of my 3D project and all the photoshopping and illustrator-ing that goes with it. 8(

Thank you Microsoft. Thank you very much.

Ironically, the security update was to improve protection against deactivation by outside users.

I write very inefficient programs, but hey, they work. So I’d set my computer to run my program while I go home for the night, so I can analyze my graphs in the morning.
Then I come to work, and my graphs aren’t there! Down at the corner, there’s a little pop up bubble that says “Your Windows has just been updated!”
Note the little exclamation mark. Like a child going “Look Mom! I just repainted the house rainbow colours! =D”
No Windows, I’m not impressed… not impressed at all! >=( Now I have to run my very inefficient program all over again *grumble grumble grumble*

Apparently there’s a manual aspect to Biff’s denim re-boot…maybe he’ll end up with cargo pants! Biff could then explore new Vistas (talk about updates!?) Cool sox.

Biff should have stuck with denim XP, it’s much more reliable.

@phil
I must confess, that was a nuclear fission burn.

Those updates are optional, you can chose to do it later (If you notice the shield).

To be fair, some updates force a restart in 2 minutes… unless your an admin, in which case you can delay it.

To be fair I can’t remember the last time one of them happened. They only happen when its a super critical update.

Or is that because I told it not to do that (in which case its getridofable)

Haven’t commented in a while, what can I say University is hectic!
