Another reason why I hate Windows – automatic restarts

Due to leaving my MacBook Pro and my Ubuntu netbook at work, and the fact I can’t be bothered to walk upstairs to use either of the Macs up there, I have been sat on the sofa, watching TV and browsing eBay on a Windows Laptop. Google Chrome is open and loaded with about 18 tabs of items I want to look at in more detail.

However, dinner time arrives and I leave the laptop open on the sofa and head off to enjoy some Lasagne. By the time I come back, Windows has taken it upon itself to download an update, apply it and restart my computer without saving anything.

How do people put up with this crap? I should be the one to decide whether my computer is to be restarted or not. This stuff doesn’t happen with OS X or Linux.

Just one more reason why I hate Windows.
