the problem with updates

I've been blessed and cursed at the same time.from last night until this moment,i have been frantically trying to solve the problem of my computer.it was beginning to feel as if i was not meant to have a computer because they keep giving me problems.luckily,i did not panic (well i did panic at first but only for a tiny moment)

the problem was that i made my computer shut down automatically after it finished downloading a certain file and then when i turned it on, it began to install these updates which i thought was usual.then all of the sudden when it said "Configuring Updates 3 of 3.0% completed,it automatically restarts and continued like that at somewhat a loop. so i didn't know what to do so i left it and went for a drink with my friends.after i came back it was still doing it so i tried everything and since i lost my recovery partition,i didn't know what to do and since i didn't have any other computer with me,i had to surf the internet through my ipod touch and started searching for a solution to my problem. after hours of trying i finally gave up and this morning, i went to the store and picked up and bought a vista DVD.that wasn't the end of it really.throughout the day, i still had to reinstall all the drivers that had not been installed automatically.

the problems with updates is that all the "security updates" that windows made us install isnt much of a concern to us at all.some of us let it automatically update itself (that includes me before this happened) and when this happens.why do we need so much security for? does everybody has government secrets on their laptop? what/so we can surf the net safely without any threats? so whats the point of me installing the internet security software then?..well im pretty sure that microsoft has its own reasons to do this but do they need people to hate them for it? i mean even if it is for our own good? having to reinstall the OS is for our own good also?

if even microsoft updates does make your computer act like what i just experienced,i think they shouldn't have made people buy the DVD..so for now, im still mad at microsoft that i bought a pirated one and used the loader..thats for ruining my whole day and made me switch to apple for 12 hours..i wasnt familiar using apple computers so for that I HATE MICROSOFT!

apart from that,i just wanted to say that be aware of everything that you change and install in your computer,i know you've probably heard it countless of times regarding installing 3rd party software but Im talking about those damned updates that made my computer lost all of its factory-included software.cheers
