Why? Microsoft. Why?

I was looking over the new back-up utility in Windows Vista.. And looked into the help files to see this:

  • Will automatic backups run if my computer is turned off?
    • No. If your computer is turned off during the scheduled backup time, automatic backups will not run. However, the next time you turn on your computer, you will be able to back up your files and resume the normal backup schedule.

I just want to know why... Who asked that question once that they needed to put it in the help docs.

If your computer is off.... It's off. Period.

Haha! There are two sources to blame here, as you eluded. The asker and the documentation team. Well, I guess you can't have too much documentation - errr, maybe you can...

That's nearly as good as the one about the guy who called tech support because his "cup-holder" on his PC broke off and he needed a replacement. When questioned about the "Cup-holder" the Tech found the the caller was referring to the "CD tray"... BUT YOU DONT SEE THAT IN THE HELP FILES.
I can see it now... Help:
Question: What do I do If my beer mug breaks off the cup holder?
Answer: Switch to a bottle and remember that the slide out try in your PC is for CD/DVD first. Drinks second. Oh and make sure your PC is one when you want to do back-ups.

Geez..
