Better but still... no

I woke up this morning and Vista has rebooted due to an update.  No.  No. No. No.  I decide when we reboot and NO ONE ELSE.  Got that? 

When it came back up, it did bring up all the programs I had open which was a pleasant surprise. It even restored all of the tabs I had open in my IE windows.  It also refreshed all the pages which wasn't quite kosher but that's a nit.

However.   If I'm playing a game and/or doing something else that I haven't saved, then this is not good.  And I will not stand for it. 

Off now to find the fucking 'do not ever ever ever ever' reboot without my permission switch.  I found it once.  I can find it again.

The other night rvrjoe775 lost a bunch of treasure in Diablo II because Windows XP decided to reboot overnight. He was a wee bit update about that yesterday morning.

No, he didn't complain in LJ, he complained to my in person.

I'll point him at your LJ entry.

Oh, I'll need to check the bylaws but I think 'complain in person' does not count. It has to be in lj entry to count. :)
