- Everyone knows that car tabs have to be renewed by a deadline and everyone knows Windows has forced updates by a deadline.

- Everyone knows how to pay their car tabs and everyone knows how to check the Windows update so that it updates when you have free time for it. And if they don't, it's just 5 seconds of Googling to find either.

- Everyone knows what happens if they don't renew their car tabs or allow the reboot by a certain date.

- Everyone knows that neither the vehicle licensing authorities nor Microsoft is going to change their policies. It doesn't matter what people think what the policy ought to be because it isn't that way and they know it.

So basically, they picked up a gun, took careful aim at their foot, pulled the trigger, and are shocked and angry that there's a bleeding hole? Sure, they can go ahead and change operating systems but it isn't going to fix the fundamental problem, if you know what I mean.

Also; where the do you live such that there isn’t a grace period on registration renewal? Do you think a car just stops working when that happens in the middle of your commute to work?

"Whoosh", as the kids these days say.

There's a grace period for forced reboots for Windows updates too and these users blithely ignored that. So what's your point?

What’s your point again, with all this bullshit car analogy? And why won’t you post your bad opinions under your real name?
