[Closed] Is microsoft a three year old child.

Are you on drugs, or do you have unfeasibly fat fingers?

You're funny!

Erm... you probably do want to download Windows Updates, at least all the Critical ones anyway, otherwise you'll find you have all kinds if nasties on your machine within a day or two of it hitting the internets.

IE: don't need and I don't want so why the F... do I need downloads? I suppose you work in IT and know betterthan us mere mortals what we need. So get the fu....g message. Ask me once, fine. Ask me twice, er, ok. Ask me ever****ingday and you're becoming Steve Job's best friend. Even my dog learns faster.

Have a nice day!

Even my dog learns faste

I don't have a dog, but if I did I bet it could tick the box so it didn't get repeatedly told about updates.

So let your dog set your computer up.

Doesn't Steve Jobs work for Apple? Why would he be sending you updates?

Let me help you. Microsoft pi55 me off. What better advert could Apple have? Ineptitude is only going to help the competition. See? 🙄

Ah yes, How could I not read your mind and know that? 🙄

Try thinking for yourself. 🙄 Work in IT, do we? 😉

protip: you also get alerted about updates on Mac OSX.

I can think quite well thanks, and no, I don't work in IT. Do you work teaching English?

Do you work teaching English?

Yes, why?

I would have thought that would be apparent.

Duck!

Not quite, I'm a Software Engineer, but I've spent far too much of my life fixing friend's, family's and "mere mortals" PCs because they didn't keep up-to-date with security and Critical Updates.

So yes, I do know better 😀

😀 nicely put Graham 🙂

But in true IT style you haven't explained anything. You know best? Explain why there is an option to personalize the downloads rejecting the ones I don't want when the great microsoft is going to download it anyway. If it was for the best why not down load it automatically. Let's not think about the Service patch 2 (or whatever it was that screwed up so many people's PCs. You know best? Yours is the exact superiority complex that winds me up. Tree-magnet had just chilled me out and along comes this tripe!

And in true misguided user style you didn't ask me to and wouldn't understand the answer if I did 🙂

It won't. Assuming you've told it not to do "Automatic Updates".
(Without baffling you with too much IT jargon, these are [i]Updates[/i] that happen [i]Automatically[/i])

If it
was for the best why not down load it automatically

Didn't you just complain that it was doing exactly that??

Why bother communicating with someone who can't?

For that matter, why bother posting on a thread started by a three year old?

People hack PCs, People find problems that need fixing, it woud takes years to find problems before releasing the software.

Updates can help sort out problems (and cause more), especially critical ones -Apple or Windows.

I hate having updates when you need print out someting quick and dash off.

Do you still have the box the computer came in? 🙂

You should try one of these - designed for people who can't handle automated updates.

I appear to have touched a nerve, let's not allow reasoned and rational argument get in the way of the insults, eh?

[i]*tries to find Dilbert sketch where PHB has an Etch-A-Sketch, but gives up*[/i]

lol, you spent 5 minutes searching for that, didn't you? 5 minutes you'll be billing a customer, I hope 🙂

"I DONT WANT TO DOWNLOAD YOUR SH1TE!!!!"

"reasoned and rational argument"

Errr not sure this started with a reasoned and tational argument but yes no reason for insults.

Great isn't it? Someone who can't understand difficult to understand things, blames the people who can. Yeah, it's our fault. Smart people accept when an expert knows more than they do about things and take the relevant advice on board, stupid people don't. It's up to you which category you feel suits you best.
