I'm running a bootleg copy of "Windows7 ultimate" on a laptop, I had to turn off auto-update so ms wouldn't brick this machine.... but I keep everything backed up, and re-install new version of Winblows every so often.... part of me just refuses to pay for winblows...

I was on Mac for 8 years and I get back to PC 2 weeks ago. The transition is almost unnoticable. I mean, Photoshop is still the same Photoshop.. and Chrome is still Chrome... so is iTunes and all the softwares I use.
Seriously, I have no OS preference. Both are the same to me. This is what you do with it that matter.
I have zero problem with Win7 and/or OS X
- Agreed, except for the win7 default auto restarts (imo)spot13

This happened once because I forgot I started the update and didn't check the 'restart in 5 min' window. I knew about it though, my fault.

...and I'm sorry to hear that georges and monospaced are financially unable to afford a more advanced operating system. perhaps we could start a fund.
- what a smug comment. typical for a mac user tho ..plash
- I don't generalize, I pointed out what I felt was a problem with Windows and I'm told I'm a retard.spot13
- Seems Windows users really took offense to an apparent programming flaw? nothing to do with Mac.spot13
- So you want to bitch; Blame your inability on the Whole of the OS and expect no retorts?plash
- Correctspot13

If you are having restarts in the middle of the day like that, you need to spend the 2 minutes to configure it to do otherwise. it's only doing what it's being told to do.

Windows is for real computer users. Macs are just expensive toys.
- Windows is an OS not a computer. I run Ubuntu Linux, Windows 7 and OS X 10.6 on my Mac and I can say Win7 sucks balls.spot13

"I have heard at least a half dozen people in my tweet stream complain about the forced windows restart today"
"Why after all these years is the default behavior of Windows to force quit any open program and restart my computer without giving any notification? Or if there was a notification, I never saw it because I was in the middle of a game, which got totally interrupted by having my computer force a reboot. Yes, I've changed my automatic updates options again to prevent it next time, at least until it decides to revert back to the default a few months down the road."
These comments are from the past 3 days, spot13 is right.
