  4. Comment - Experts Astonished to Learn Windows Update Updates Itself

    (Sep 17, 2007 - 4:52 AM)

    I don't understand. Why do people complain so much about such a trifle. That is simply harmless and complaining would be stupid. Because what happens if at some point you decide to have every update off right? and then ms changes the way WSUS is authenticating and getting the updates? when you turn on the updates at some point this would break the system and people would start complaining on why they cant get the updates. So clear me up here: How come people complain about MS being an insecure system, when 80 % of the world population uses it for a desktop, when you got almost any friggin application on this earth running on windows. Have you ever tried linux as a desktop ? Let me put it this way. Get linux installed on a desktop then after the 1hour and 30 minutes to install 4 gb or 6 gb of data, because yes you need the same stuff to be working, office, and you have to install a LOT of dependencies. Then you have to check that the drivers for the video card are not working, then you have to make the sound work. Then what ? You get the apps crashing if you don't install something correctly, and you have to read the readme, modify system files, get all things working properly, and after all you put in you think "ah i'm done", NO you are not done, because it's open source and everybody contribues, which is good, but there is not a straight line within the coding, so mistakes might slip in, so for every stuff you will add you have to check for often updates, and install and upgrade, aaaalll by yourself. Let me see you complain then. Nobody helps you, but hey, you get a system that doesn't update it's updating system by itself right? Let's get a fact straight here. MS is a great product whatever any of you would say. I would not enjoy pretty much to spend time like 8 9 hours to setup my computer after i installed the OS, and regard of that, i would definitely want my programs to work, not to cry about compatibility and other programs that are required. Get your heads straight. ms is doing a great job with windows, people just like to complain. Yet complaining got microsoft to release vista, and complaining will help getting windows to a better system even than now is. It's all about spending less time with the machine setup and more time with actually making the things work.

    As things come by: WHY on earth would i want notification that the system updates itself. Will i do anything than close the window? Will i look at the hashes to see if the patches or whatever have been installed correctly ? How many of the people that argued have actually read the MS kb to see what the update is for? How many people actually know what a kb is and what technet is ? Get serious, if i wanted windows to give me notifications every time, i would have installed some ad stuff to pop ads for me , and then i would have been dead happy, i get to click and see notifications all the time.
