Vista has the option to remind you every 4 hours, that's hardly that annoying

The future holds bright things in it\\\'s path, but only time will tell what they are and where they come from.

RE: [split] Microsoft rant
Like people have said before, don't select automatic updates and installation if you don't want your PC do boot up automatically, easy as that. The PC will not boot up automatically then (if it was required for a certain update), but only shows you a reminder (which can also be configured in gpedit.msc, which is the proper way of configuring the stuff, including what foaly said).
Automatic means by default... 'automatic', so yeah, everything will be automatic, including booting up. If it didn't booted up by itself it wouldn't be 'automatic' anymore, and booting up is part of the installation of some updates because certain things need to be installed or updated after a fresh start, so....
Don't blame Windows (in this case), blame yourself for choosing the wrong setting....
PS: Also some people forget that if Windows encounters a serious bug, it will also reboot by default (can be set in My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Reboot and reset settings (or whatever it is called)). I don't have the link anymore, but there are also many similar stories where people left their PC idling and blame Windows Update for auto-rebooting eventhough they have selected Custom Install. In the end the fact was that their Windows installation was corrupted and encountered some errors from time to time and thus rebooted instead of simply showing an error message.

RE: [split] Microsoft rant
I'd say this is an important update, SP1 along with security fixes:

O.P. RE: [split] Microsoft rant
Uhhhh. No.
It does not matter if you have a cracked Vista or a non cracked Vista, or a Cracked XP or Non cracked XP.
A cracked version (unless you suck  ) Will be able to update fully like normall. Thats what a crack is supposed to DO! Trick the system into thinking that your copy of windows is legit.
I know this, as my Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 is fully 100% cracked.

Okay. You just made all of your opinions or complaints void. You don't expect a company you didn't buy a product from to help you, don't you? I don't think you can complain.

RE: [split] Microsoft rant
Why would the company be helping him? They're just supplying a service and he's stealing it. Unless he asks for technical support from Microsoft or anything it's not asking for help...
On the other hand regardless of whether your Vista or whatever other product it is is pirated or not, if you can supply the company from which it came with useful suggestions for improving their products in the future I don't really think they would care whether your version of their product was cracked or not. Sure they would care that you stole from them, but as far as the suggestion for the future goes it's equally as valid as someone who might've suggested something who DID pay for the product (unless you're a mega dodgy pirater and you suggest something will lead to the program being easier to pirate ) |

And i never ask for technical support  And im "stealing" it, becuase i do belive its not worth purchusing .
And have you heard Apple fanboys? They dont even own a Windows product/used one . But they still complain and make points (Both valid and invalid points)

If it's not worth purchasing it shouldn't be worth using. Which I agree it isn't - Vista sucks.
