August 21st, 2006Bill Gates gets an invoice from a unhappy customer
This truly sounds like a nightmare come true for this unhappy Microsoft Customer, whats your opinion on this? Feel free to comment

Please find enclosed my invoice for £1,200 sterling for administrative and consulting work, caused by the need to repair Microsoft sabotage. I dare say you’d like details:
Last night, your organisation destroyed about three hours worth of work I’d done.

The work was a set of notes being made in a text editor which I am required to use by one of my clients. All the files were open last night, when a family emergency occurred, and I was unable to devote the 10 minutes required to closing them down. I was logged into a remote system with a one-time login, which I cannot get clearance for again till Tuesday. And I had several websites open on my desktop.
During the night, Microsoft took it upon itself to update my computer. I arrived at work to find a message stating: “Windows recently downloaded and installed an important security update to help protect your computer. This update required an automatic restart of your computer.”
I have gone to some trouble to ensure that this doesn’t happen. I have set Windows Update to “custom” - meaning that I will decide which updates I need to install, and how the update will be handled. And when an update says “this requires a restart” I have always specified that I will restart the machine at a time of my own choosing.
