Vista is being so mean to me, I've decided to punish it. For a long time now, it's been secretly downloading more and more stuff (no doubt I told it to, in a moment of weakness, egged-on by paranoia-inducing update service). Since Sunday, it's been trying to download around 50 language packs, about a gig each. I caught it trying to install Estonian (which I'm fairly sure I'll never need), and that set me off. I tried to cancel it, but no. It was having none of that. I waited for a bit, and it said it needed to restart (twice?). After the language packs, it said it could download a few new games and update to old games - 5 in all. Great. Might be worth. Kicked it off...20minutes to download/install 1 update to Texas Hold 'Em - just the normal MS thing. How could it possibly take that long?

Anyway, it's pushed me too far now. I can't carry on with that sort of behaviour. It's not even reasonable. It's time I taught it a lesson. So, I've ordered a mac. It's gonna be great :)
