But if my updates don't require gigs to download and hours to install along with numerous reboots I might not notice that my system just received a major update! I might go around assuming the programs I had installed yesterday are still around, that commands do the same things and that the buttons are all in the same places as the day before..
yeah, I do like that my firmware and programs are all updated also. It's a lot of hassle in windows to go to all the hardware manufacturers and see "Oh a video driver update and it's only 300MBs" now it's oh an update, "this update frees 600k on your hard drive, do you want it" fuck yeah I do.
Ah, but microsoft is a hardware manufacturer now. If you buy windows hardware it all gets updated with the system. :p it just isn't guaranteed to work. expect to do lots of unplugging and plugging stuff back in or rebooting randomly to bring hardware back to life.
Yeah hardware, locked down shit is more like it like the old apple model where flash video was not allowed. Yeah microsoft could fuckup a wet dream. I love my linux and only spread the gospel of the real OS.
