Well, my computer's done. Even though I told windows update not to install updates, it installed updates anyway. Predictably, my computer did not boot. I tried to system restore. It failed, and actually failed, for some reason. Computer didn't start. I decided to try again and... all of my system restore points are gone. It just got rid of them all when they didn't work. There's nothing I can do - I have to reinstall windows now, but I can't find my disks.
I will no longer buy any Microsoft products or services. I'm done with them. The things they put out are shoddy quality and I don't trust them. I'll continue to use Windows 7 for now, but the next time I buy a computer, it will not use a Microsoft OS.
