Sound and fury, signifying nothing

To AutoDesk, the makers of AutoCAD, the program which supplies my livelyhood:

The autosave feature is a great idea, I just wish it worked. Not only does it interrupt me while working - by taking control of the program and unceremoniously canceling any other command or operation I have in progress to do it's thing, something that a program should never, ever, ever do - half the time it doesn't even do what it's supposed to do. I just lost several hours worth of work because your program locked up. Turns out the autobackup was just making a lot of noise, but doing nothing of benefit. It's late and I need sleep, and now I have to redo all of that drafting while quelling a murderous rage.

Get your fucking act together.

We use Autodesk Inventor (and other Autodesk programs) at our school and they are the screwiest programs ever - from the way they need to be installed to the way you have to save files...

Blech.
