Actually it would fix the problem. No other operating system forces updates whenever the fuck it feels like, and people should not accept this as a fait accompli.

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?

That no other OS forcibly interrupts you to install updates, and that makes Windows tautologically worse than other operating systems.

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