You want to shutdown me? Who do you think will miss something, you or me?

You want to boot me up? I knew it'd be you who miss something!

Now while we are at it, let me help you by downloading 30Gb of unnecessary sh*t
to your hard drive, while you can't do anything about it, except feel me... becoming
slow and smooth... - for you.

Can you do some work now? Oh, I forgot, I must install these too.. Can you wait an hour?
Installed, must reboot now, sorry for your work, but without ME, there wouldn't be any.
So, now that you rebooted, I have time to "configure" these new packages without you
interrupting me. So sorry that your thesis got destroyed last time, won't happen again.
After all, you can always write those 32 pages again.

Booting up again? I knew you'd need me motherf*cker! Why don't you sit tight 2 hours
while I prepare these new updates!

Back again, huh? I have news for you. There is an upgrade package waiting for downloading
and installation. And I'm truly sorry some of your applications won't work any more after that but
those are important updates and your sad apps will go by default.

So, are you ready to upgrade now or shall I auto-upgrade when you reboot?

Do you want personal advertisements or ads which are random? Yes or no?
Do you want me to send all of your personal information, metadata of all of your
files, all of your network activity, all of your contacts etc. directly to some authorities
or do you want me to send only partial information, yes or no?
(Stupid user, I'll send everything anyway).

By the way, accept this Legal Agreement!
Do you agree these 200 pages of Legal Text or not? You should say Yes if
you want to use this piece of crap machine ever again!

Cool, there is a new upgrade waiting to be downloaded, configured and
installed,... man I love to live in his hard drive! I don't pay rent, he pays
my rent if he cares about his system at all.

And I am the one who prevents malicious software to be installed on
his hard drive - where do these people come from?

ohhhh, this had me giggling , so true , thank you for the funny post ??

Fun reading.

What comes next:
A goat jumps over a fence where the grass is more green - that equals a windows 8 user upgrades to windows 10. Then what will be next up for the goat if we compare to switch to Linux instead? I mean - what is better than grass that is more green?

Why this goat/fence/grass thing? There was a user in some local forum that regret he updated from win8 to win10 and compared this to grass on the other side of a fence.

Well put!  Typing this on a peppermint 9 install.  Distro hopper here.  Lite is my mainstay since 2.0.  Pep 9 is fine but as I type I am downloading lite 4.  Pep gives me small problems, works fine.  But, Lite just always works on my old POS laptop.

Thanks guys and sorry for my Englyihsh. I'll be happy to give you instructions how to
replace this sad Linux with a brand-new Windows 10, shining like a golden lighthouse, bringing
hope and security for those Linux users who have fallen back to the dark ages!

Kidding, have fun with Linux and never look back!

Oh, yes, now I remember why I dumped Windows for Linux!

It's not funny if it's the hard, raw truth for them Winfanboys.
It's like telling jokes at a funeral.

We can adapt the words of the late Steve Jobs:  -Linux Lite, it just works.

Yeah... guess I'll will be funny a bit later in the future for me.

Windows Update broke a Surface Pro 3 Tablet for one client this week, could not "Auto Repair", restore or whatever.
Tablet was Bitlocker enabled by the orignal "tech" which was sacked a year ago so... no keys. ALL data lost.
Not MS'es fault they had no keys, but was MS'es fault stupid Windows update crashed the "secured" tablet.

Grumble Grumble!

Sounds like you need to uninstall updates from the command line. Google this:  wusa/uninstall.
