This morning my computer updated itself, courtesy of Microsoft. When it had finished, it forced me to download and encouraged me to run a special little program. When I did, it told me I could upgrade my computer by spending a mere 150 bucks on a Microsoft product.
Gee thanks. When I buy a TV, I don't expect it to interrupt my viewing to make me view commercials about the manufacturer. I don't expect my toaster to occasionally pop up toast with a message saying I need to buy a new toaster from Philips burned into it.
I know I choose to run Microsoft's OS (although the choice is far from free), but this is my computer, and my time they're wasting. Why is it okay to do it?
I have to go and make a pickup in Dollis Hill now, see you later.
