I just lost hours of work thanks to one of their goddamn automatic updates shutting down my computer while I was using it.

It's 8 pm on a Friday night, and now I have hours more ahead of me as Windows cheerfully tells me, after rebooting without warning, that it downloaded an important security update.

I don't want to hear how to disable the feature right now. Right now I just want to personally kick in the balls of every Microsoft programmer ever. Maybe beat them over the head with a shovel while I'm at it.

I was inputting soccer registrations into a spreadsheet and ran across the street to get a drink. I came back, all of maybe 3 minutes later, and my computer had restarted. I lost about 150 entries and had to start over.
