did spake thusly:

Not necessarily Vista only, but I've just got annoyed with a laptop  
downloading some AV update conking out because it went to sleep. I thought  
the point was it only did that when it wasn't doing anything; I'd say  
downloading counted as 'something'. Doubly annoying as the laptop's been  
disconnected from the 'net for a month so it's a huge update; and it had  
to restart from scratch.

Oh and yes the other laptop's screensaver still won't kick in when  
connected to a Microsoft mouse despite the 'fix'.

The latest nice bit was installing a 02 3G mobile modem that required UAC  
to be turned off before it'd install, thus requiring two reboots  
bookending the installation.

My current favourite is the resolution of an error from Microsoft  
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950375/en-us/ 'Just ignore it' would have  
been a much shorter entry.
