Windows rant

Sorry, but this gets me angry.
With Windows' Back up and Restore feature, I've ticked the "Let Windows manage the space of the backups". Assuming that when my backup disk was full, Windows would delete older backups to make place for new ones. What else is "managing space"? How wrong I was.
When my, during a backup, the backup disk got full, Windows gave an error and stopped backing up, stating it was full and I needed to manually free space by deleting old backups. Effectively rendering the option I ticked earlier utterly useless! Empty as it were.
Why, for crying out loud, does Microsoft put in an option that does not do anything when ticked?
