Title: The 10 most annoying programs on the Internet
Post by: KnacK on May 28, 2008, 12:00:40 PM

THis guys hits the nail on the head!

As a sysadmin, I deal with ALL of this on a daily basis. Just take a look at all of the comments.

RE: Windows Update:

Quote

Your machine will reset in four minutes. Your machine will not shut down until these five updates are installed. You must restart your machine now. You will install Microsoft Genuine Advantage. Please wait while these updates are installed. Please shut down all applications before applying this update. Pop! New updates are ready to be installed. And now that we've stopped you doing whatever it was you were doing (like we care), shall we go ahead and install them now, or would you rather be interrupted yet again later?

Got that windows update today. I press 'update later'

I was downloading something, so I leave the computer for 10 minutes.

I come back and my computer is restarting.

I agree, 90%.  (With the lone exception of Flash)

WIth flash, they install a scheduler that can be a PITA in a domain environment.

As the update will run, then it can't be installed as the user doesn't have admin privileges.

Sure, but I was going by the reason they mentioned in the article, which was a lousy excuse :P

Programming languages are like sewage plants: if the average user becomes aware of them, something's gone wrong.

Haha.

Fortunately, there are alternatives to most of these.
