Fucked for the last time

susandennisI have 3 computers. When Windows has an update, I always install it immediately on my work computer. I constantly check both XP and Office for updates. And I install immediately.
On my 2 personal computers, I prefer to install updates when I want to and not when Microsoft thinks I should. I know the installation will want me to reboot my computer and often I would rather not do that right now, thank you very much.
The every hour popup telling me there was an update was annoying enough, but my ignoring it was not enough of an indication that I did not want to install it. Last night, Microsoft just decided that whatever I had saved and whatever reason I had for not rebooting was of ZERO concern of theirs and they just installed the thing and rebooted my machine. The fuckers.
The cow's out of this barn but I have locked the doors on the Lifebook - and now on this one. We will, from now on, reboot when I say we reboot.
