Fuck You, Microsoft

This is what I get for using the downstairs (Windows) computer:
Windows info bubble mentioning an automatic update

…note they chose to use the demur “this update required an automatic restart” rather than the more accurate “we didn’t like that, though you chose to manually run an update, you didn’t click the ‘Restart Now’ button fast enough, so — despite the fact you had your customary 46 browser tabs open — when you left to watch The Big Lebowski we took the opportunity to just reboot the computer without your approval. So fuck you, fuck your open documents, fuck your browser windows. We’ve got holes to plug!”

    Just take it easy, man! Put the piece away!

    (p.s.: why is your e-mail fucked? I tried to send something to the regular and even plugone and both bounced.)

    Oh I have stories with FUCKING Microsoft…
    I’m working in the 3D industry and I was having 40 cpus rendering like lunatics to manage and reach a DEADLINE… until COCKMONGERING Microsoft felt it had to restart ALL the systems with one ULTRA fucked up update and TOTALLY screwed my deadline in the middle of the night.

    Probably that fucked up update was fixing a bug in the calculator or something and cost me 12 precious hours.
