| 101. It's unstable and "too secure" |
|
Edited on Fri May-29-09 12:49 AM by ProudDad
and the m$ "software engineers" have gone above and beyond in hiding the switches, levers and controls for the OS.
My Vista machine is truly nasty about communicating with the other 5 machines ON MY OWN NETWORK.
Why the fuck should I have to spend a couple hundred hours to completely relearn the thousands of ins and outs with every new release of their cock-a-mamie operating systems?
Last time I took a trip on the airlines with my vista laptop it took over 20 minutes to boot up, connect to the airport network and then forced another trip into regedit and an uninstall and reinstall the DVD burner (that it lost track of again!!!)...
Piece of SHIT!
