So true.
Only true for Windows users
yes.
The person with the Ubuntu symbol has never gotten an updates notification?
I have Linux and I have updates notifications.
But with Windows is nightmare!!
I apply my updates pretty much whenever they become available.
we do get update notifications, but instead of having to click remind me later every 30 minutes we can just click later and it updates when you open the updater or reboot
ARRRG RAGE UPDATE YOUR COMPUTER DAMNIT
So this Graph is stating that the buttons for “Remind me later” are bigger? What 6-year-old that can’t write made this graph???
I don’t even think facepalm cuts it.
If you’re trying to be sarcastic, you’re not good at it. The graph means 98% of the time the user chooses “Remind me later” rather than installing the update.
I know what it means you brainless idiot. And I am not being sarcastic. I am saying that the graph doesn’t say anything about a user or choosing. You are even dumber than the graph maker.
Wow, “brainless idiot” redundancy much? I don’t think it is really that hard to infer that he is speaking about what choice is most popular. I believe that you are just someone who likes to be constantly negative…
I do the exact opposite. The minute I hear about an update (such as the new version of iTunes that just came out today) I go to ALL the programs on my PC that let me download updates for my programs, and if there’s even one update, I’ll have clicked on the Update Now button 5000 times before you even new it.
My guess is that this graph is for those who like their PCs (or Macs) just the way they are right now.
Now I’m gonna download iTunes 10. BRB!
Updating is useless =-=”
Only uses more hdd space and makes your pc/laptop slower
What about those critical Win7 updates? Would you like to restart your computer now? Oh, ya, did I mention you have 15 min to reply or I’m restarting anyway!?
Windows made the updating process as annoying and intrusive as possible
I once stayed up to 3 am working on a paper for school in Office. I took a quick rest, but didn’t save, and I fell asleep. While I slept it took all of my hard work and destroyed it by updating and restarting. I took a 0 on the paper, it was too disheartening to do it over. I swore vengeance. Now I’m Ubuntu NE local community team contact and have been systematically exterminating Windows in Omaha for the past few years.
graphjam ate my html end coolstorybro tag.
.. You do know that Word has auto-saved documents by default since at least 1998, right? I mean, you could have recovered your document under that circumstance and gotten a good (well, better) grade instead of swearing vengeance.
I was using Word ’97. I switched to OpenOffice pretty much immediately after that, it has auto-saving too. It’s interesting to me that I never questioned the pathetic tools I was using until they let me down.
Irrelevant. I was picking an arbitrary date; Word 97 did have auto-save.

I get excited about updates, but that’s because they could be any piece of software on my system, like with my Droid. Windows just can’t do that. *shrug* They’ll catch up someday.
Indeed, it’s a wonder that it can’t update every third-party app that can be installed (oh, there are millions of them?) on Windows. Seems pretty simple. I mean, the software architecture necessary to support legacy software through bleeding edge games is obviously so simple to begin with, and all software developers (oh, there are millions of them?) would be completely anxious to conform their applications to a Microsoft-defined update platform. Obviously MS would want to manage a database of, what would become, millions of applications with tens or hundreds of iterations each.
Yes, centralization and corporate control of our desktops is definitely the best way to go, and I can’t wait to have my computers’ software sold and managed by a monopolistic central authority like the Apple Store or the Android Marketplace. I mean, then I don’t have to worry about accidentally being exposed to a naughty picture or a woman’s privates either, which would surely make my head combust in the shame of sin.
The difference between us and them is that you can add-third party sources in our app store. Same interface, different repository. People do it all the time. My operating system fetches updates for Chrome at the same time it updates everything else– and it gets that Chrome from Google servers.
The Android market has porn apps, btw.
Centralization is indeed the way to go. Not every company is psycho control freaks like Apple.
Oh, and one other thing: The droid is more annoying than Win7 (IMO) with software updates. Hands down. I don’t need to update every point revision of Astro File Manager or Motorola Flashlight.
I’m running Cyanogen 6. I allow my apps to update automatically.
Look, I don’t mean to jump all over you — Almost all of my servers are CentOS and I run Ubuntu on a few of my client machines, but it’s unfair just to crap on Win when every other OS (& software ecosystem) has its flaws).
I’m not a fan of auto updating, because developers have a tendency to add in new “features” that I’m not particularly fond of. In specific, apps that go from pure freeware to ad-supported, with no actual features added.
In this graph – like in reality – one possibility is missing: The “Never bother me again with this crap!”-button
Yes!
I need that button. I see myself in a couple of years with a kind of “German boy” style “Never Never bother me again” button.
I love the colors of the graph.
Remind me of a delicious lollipop.
Or be smart, disable updates (like i did) and hide messages that are saying your computer takes a big risk etc
