You know for some people Microsoft can do no wrong, so if you are experiencing problems it must be, by definition, user error.

I would guess to be fair that if you were a fan or even neutral towards Ms though, the thread title is very strongly worded and could well invoke a "fuck you so" reaction from some people, I understand it's as annoying as all heck when you just want to get a PC back up and running and it does that infinite checking for updates (I normally resolve it by just restarting over and over about 5-10 mins into the thing, eventually it manages to install 1 or 2 updates which seem to iron out issues, but yeah it's torture).

The title is definitely inflammatory. I was really angry though, trying multiple solutions and having 10 firefox tabs open on the same subject and nothing is working. I don't mind the "user error" comments.

If it was my laptop I wouldn't have tried as hard. My PC habits are responsible and I don't do anything that may have negative effects on my device or data and I backup my stuff daily when I go to sleep. But when it's other people's stuff, I have to make sure all security updates are installed along with Microsoft Security Essentials or whatever works these days.
