Okay, so today, I noticed that I hadn't updated my laptop in quite a while. (I'm running Vista, by the way.) So, I open Windows Update, and take a look. Wow. 56 uninstalled updates. I guess it really has been a long time.
So, I click the "Install Updates" button. After a significant lag (as to be expected, it's Vista) the window blinks once, goes dark, and asks me if I
really want to run Windows Update. "Yes, you heard me." Continue.
About an hour and much bandwidth loss later, I am informed that updates are done installing, and I need to restart my computer. Fine. Restart.
Then, the shutdown screen appears. "Installing updates, please do not turn off your computer." Wait, if you're installing updates
now, what were you doing for the last
sixty minutes?
Ten minutes later... "Configuring updates... stage 3 of 3, 0% complete. Please do not turn off your computer." Don't tell me what to do, asshole.
Okay, so now you need to
pretend to install updates, then actually install them, the
configure them? The hell?
It freezes on that screen for a while.
Twenty minutes later... "Updates were not successfully configured. Reverting changes. Please do not turn off your computer."
Wait, what? You mean to tell me that you spent the last hour and a half failing to install updates, and now you just tell me that? Mister Gates, will you kindly tell me what the FUCK is going on here?
Ten minutes later... "Welcome" *over-cheery jingle* Up yours, punk.
In an infernal rage, I open Windows Update.
What the hell is <a href="

Do you have Vista? Do you hate it, as any good person should? Use this thread to VENT YOUR RAEG. DON'T HOLD BACK A BIT OF THAT ANGER. Then we shall embark on a righteous CRUSADE against Vista.
