- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

I picked this option because sometimes the OS is trolling me. It's Windows 7, and it works fine, except some annoyances that I would categorize more like malware behavior than anything else.
For example, focus stealing: I fucking hate that. I type while looking at the keyboard and of course Windows Update pops up asking for a restart while I'm writing and space bar activates the OK button. Then svchost.exe stealing one core worth of CPU processing power exactly when I'm about to kill whatever boss in whatever game, and so on.

New laptop out of the box, turned it on and almost instantly a popup appeared, it was nagging me to upgrade, disrupting me from setting up my computer, bogged the machine down really bad, and at one point even asked for personal information AND a credit card number!
Fucking McAfee, no wonder normal people get crap on their system when their (absolutely worthless) virus protection behaves exactly the same.

Wait, what?
The OS is supposed to be the entity that controls all the resources of your computer. That includes focus.
