Dear Bill Gates

I need a favor.

Please take the Windows developer that figured that a popup window asking you to reboot your computer should take focus away from the window you’re currently typing in and shoot them. I’m getting mighty tired of typing away somewhere and a popup from some random program appears for just a split second because the keys I’m typing triggered the prompt. I have no frickin’ idea what the hell I just agreed to, reboot or not.

Here’s a clue: Windows should NEVER allow any window or popup to take focus if the user has pressed a key within the last 30 seconds.

Thank you, and I’m sure you can afford the bullets.
