Sucks about the Flash work though, turn off Auto Install updates.

Wouldn't it make more sense to require a password like OSX before shutting down applications? A box can be clicked by mistake, but entering a password requires some level of acknowledgement.catfish said:Please show me where that EVER happens with windows 7.
Explain to me in slow detail how it destroys work through a design decision that doesn't require user permission. I must have missed the setting where it says 'fuck your shit I'm shutting down'
it gives a shutdown prompt where you must say yes, then it begins the restart procedure which every windows program has the power to cancel save or not save.

It's a legit complaint, no amount of 'user is dumm' posts will make it any less of a bad design decision. He probably didn't see the prompt because it doesn't always take focus over a full screen application, and if you work in an office environment you may not even have to option to disable automatic updates. Until I was able to do so, the automatic updates on my work computer had me rolling my eyes and being annoyed by them more times than I care to remember.Ultimo hombre said:OP tried to make some E-Buddies by going for a sure hit with a "M$ product suxs!" approach. It backfires beautifully.
Sounds like you didn't read the restart/postpone prompt either.
This reminds me of a UI improvement I want to be added in all OS. In the newer console RPGs when a dialog messagebox appears giving you several options, with one choice already selected, it ignores when you press the confirm button for about a second to prevent people accidentally choosing the wrong option.pmj said:Yeah, it sure can be confusing what GNOME apps are asking of you.

It has nothing to do with Windows 7 specifficaly, it's been like that since at least XP, but you'd think they would improve on something so obviously disruptive.
I've been using Vista on both my home PC's so I'm not that impressed with 7. Its great, but thats because Vista was pretty damn good once service pack 1 came out. Win 7 is basically vista with a little different GUI, less UAC and all the improvements that they patched into Vista.elohel said:was mossberg right?(was that the guy?)
says that this windows 7 is as good as mac os? what's your guys' take?
i havent tried enough to say anything, im primarily a mac user but i hear windows 7 is awesome, so id like to get it someday
Not even. OP just doesn't know what he's doing.entrement said:Holy crap! New operating systems are buggy? I'm shocked, bro.

Im thinking about trying Windows 7 on my Macbook...
I have the same problem with Apple software. I refuse to install ITunes anymore because of that nagging update window that pops up all the time and steals focus from everything(including TF2 which takes forever to alt-tab back into)...when I don't even have Itunes running.TheSeks said:Also telling XP to fuck off with the auto-update shit only brings the goddamn thing back five minutes later. No, fuck you, Windows. If I wanted to "update now" I would've said so. I told you to fuck off and let meview my pornbrowse the internet in peace, not nag me to update. I'll fucking let you update when I set the computer to "sleep"/"shut down."

People who dont want to constantly keep checking for minor security updates.Skittleguy said:YES! Who keeps that shit on?
Yesthanks, I will :-D Well, actually I won't anymore as I disabled it Small inconvenience by small inconvenience, things pile up and concentration breaks. This way I just install them when there's nothing pressing to do, and it doesn't interrupt and keep nagging me at worst possible times.captive said:you can roll your eyes all you want.

Vista does that too.skybaby said:No way in hell it restarted when you hit cancel. Anyone on 7 can try this. Open notepad and type something without saving. Tell Windows to restart and hit cancel on the notepad dialog. This screen pops up instantly:

Sorry if that was an obvious statement.

Then set it to check and notify you, then you manually download and install when you want. (Or the download, manually install option.)pxleyes said:People who dont want to constantly keep checking for minor security updates.
