I Hate Windows Update

**U4ea** · 19-03-09

As I had to shift my body clock to night shift time last night and mir was down I thought I'd take the opportunity to shrink my Linux filesystem and reinstall Windows on a slightly bigger partition... I forgot how annoying windows update is! Install updates, reboot, oh theres more updates, install updates, reboot, install service pack, reboot, install updates, reboot... why the hell can't Windows do all of it in 1 go like any other sensible OS? =/

Anyway, see ya in game when I finish installing updates and I've reinstalled mir! =/

lol it has to do it bit by bit because windows is retarded - it cant seem to do more than 1 thing at once :P

and if you had the whole update in one go it would end up being a few gb depending on which SP you were up to lol

if i knew how to use Linux/Unix i would probably have moved over to them but i've grown up with windows and atm im stuck with it lol

but i do know how your feeling :P Windows sucks ass

(any way one of the reason it needs to be done bit by bit is because windows is surprisingly fragile, if you install the wrong update in the wrong order then it could seriously destroy your system

- And they try to make it look like its the users choice to download the updates by breaking them up in to multiple chunks, the only problem with this is when you need to install a service pack it makes you install every possible update before you can lol :P)

All you have to do on Linux is run 1 command and you're up to date! (e.g: "yum - y update" on rpm type boxes)... and people say it's harder than windows!! ;P

lol i guess they assume it would be like going back to Dos (tbh i love dos

I believe in the new Windows versions (2008?) they planned on creating a non-gui install which uses a better command line interface... if ya can't beat them and all that. Not sure if they actually did it though.

Just installed JRE, now autopatching... then have to download the LR fixes... and I may be on by dinner time!

Lone - I think the "Map Fixes" thread needs updating to include the snow & tower maps (I need to find them now so I'll post the links here in a minute... or however long it takes to find!)
