Windows updates are not user friendly

This is NOT a question and I give up on Microsoft products. I am entering this from my iPad mini. I didn't think I would be going back to Apple for my laptop but I most probably will. Here's the deal: I had been using windows 8 and Ubuntu on a Sony vaio,

however the preview version expired and I really didn't think it was worth the price of the upgrade-hey maybe if it was twenty bucks like an Apple OS upgrade I would have sprung for it?

Anyway I reinstalled 7 and was happy with the simpler to use interface until I was rudely reminded of one of seven's maddening features.

I'm writing a long reply to a friend in online email when suddenly everything is closed up and windows starts installing updates.

You have to be kidding me right?!!!! No it's not just vista or eight or any other number of things M$ got wrong their whole focus is way WAY off.

I remember this feature that is my personal camel's straw. Just close up whatever the user is doing and without any warning or dialogue box start what's really important-which is what Microsoft devs have deemed important. If Microsoft hadn't had the advantage

of being the only option in the early days of computing they wouldn't be in the position they are now. I so hope that doesn't continue.

Goodbye!
