No, I'm not saying a time machine was necessary.

All he had to do was change the setting before using the computer for something important.

Of the countless times he had to wait to use the computer while it installed updates, you would think he had the sense to change the setting at some point.

But it would have been cool if he did invent a time machine. That's probably an easier fix.

ETA: I think the story is funny, but to use it as some way to claim superiority is ridiculous.

Most end users don't think to do this. Having a setting turned on by default that could potentially lock you out of your computer for more than a minute or two without asking is just plain poor design.

The recent 800MB Windows 8.1 update can take like 45+ mins to install on cheap-arse laptops running on those shitty low power AMD CPUs.

I wouldn't use this as a way to claim that the Mac is awesome or better. Being able to turn on and use your computer should be a basic function, not a bragging right.
