1) yes, why not?2) it was windows updating, and it tried to download an office trial from MS
3) true
4) again this was vista making my life difficult, (I clicked the little thing that said disconnect and it either refused, or reconnected despite the option for automatic connection being off)

1. I agree. But I'm a geek and have OEMs of all OS' sat here so I don't want to pay for something I don't need. ( this is not the case for the majority of consumer )
2. That's just your ineptitude. It won't update anything you don't let it.
3. That's just your ineptitude and could be easily fixed.
4. It's better than anything previous and a rudimentary knowledge can soon have it streamlined like a bitch. A skinny bitch.
5. fucking French pyromaniacs.

2. it was the first problem, in the first time I used vista and at the time it waswasting what precious little uncapped internet I had left.
3. no I think my intuition is fundamentally different to what windows (and in some regards the gui approach on ubuntu) is designed for.
4. yeah but I'm not going to bother (yeah inherent laziness is a problem) because I know how to get a linux system running reasonably well (although my knowledge isn't nearly as deep as I want it). And I like curves. (Only to look at obviously)
5. I didn't like it.

by 'ineptitude'I'm not trying to insult you and imply you can't do it. More that your lack of knowledge of the particular OS ( which as I said is easily fixed) leads to these issues and is not an inherent problem with the software.
