    Windows Update Message - Switch to Linux

    After updating my Windows computer this morning at work and clicking "Restart Later" once every 5 minutes for the last two hours, I began to feel like I was perhaps inconveniencing Windows by not dropping everything I was working on and restarting my computer. So, I changed the windows message to say what I think it should say when it asks you if you want to restart your computer.

    yes, when i still used windows that thing used to drive me nuts! i'de be in the middle of an FPS online tournament and that thing kept popping up.
    it only seems logical that MS should have added a "Don't ask me again" button. once again the great slogan:

    I digged this image and several people thought that I somehow hacked the OS to display the 3rd button. While that would be cool, to be honest, it was "Photoshop'ed", or, more accurately, "GIMP'ed". My original purpose for showing others was simple to brighten other's day. But I must say, there was something theraputic about spending 10 minutes creating that image. I'll look for opportunities to do this again.
