Another good reason to hate the Microsoft Vista Development Team

Damn you Microsoft!

Even since installing Vista you have made my life and no doubt the
lives of countless others a absolute hell.

I would send this directly to the baboons in Redmond they pretend to
be programmers, but of course Microsoft doesn't provide a means to
contact them. For good reason obviously. So this will have to do.

For the second time, out of the blue, for no reason the moronic pile
of streaming dog shit you laughingly call an improved and best ever
version of Windows has seen fit to not only lose my very stable
broadband Internet connection it is dumb enough to think I'm using a
dial-up connect and depending on where I click it both tells me I'm
not connected or I am connected. Typical Microsoft software. Clueless.

I suppose a reboot will cure this stupid problem but you see I use my
computer for work. Right now I'm in the middle of redering a video
file. That takes time. I already have over a hour invested in this job
so if I reboot now I'll lose a hour's work. So I'm just sitting here
twidding my thumbs wating and I got almost another 20 minutes to wait.

I'll use that time to think about how I was ripped off by your latest
offering that has got to be the most buggy untested pile of crap to
even get out the door.

I can't pass the time surfing the Internet because Vista killed the
connection. The steaming pile of dog shit it is, it now is stuck in a
endless loop bringing up a stupid dial-up box asking me to connect to
MSN network and provide my log-in and password if I try to connect to
the Internet.

Well damn it, I don't have a dail-up connection, I don't have a MSN
account, what Vista wants me to connect to, I never did and never
would want one. Why is Vista doing this insanity?

Well lets see if I can figure this out...

I go to Control Panel, click on Network settings. Nothing obviously
wrong. Ok, I next click on the laughable network diagnostics tool. Its
been runing for several minutes now. Nothing. Oh wait it stopped.

Oh goodie, a new box pops up. It says Windows did not find any
problems with your Internet connection. Asks if I want to send a
report to Microsoft. Priceless!

Your crap turned off my broadband access and you come back and say
nothing is wrong. Typical Microsoft. The left hand never knows what
the right hand is doing. If I click on any shortcut to any web page it
brings up the dial-up log on box. Yet if I click on the network icon
on the Task bar it still says I'm connected to the Internet.

Tell me one thing Microsoft, where to I send my invoice for all my
time you wasted running the piece of crap you call Vista? I figure
that easily you owe me about $1,200.00 so far. I expected payment
within 10 days.

I fully agree Adam! People even "remotely" considering Vista should
RUN, not walk... to get a Mac and their life will vastly improve.

Windows just won't make it in its current form past 2010. If you are a
power user, OSX is for you, even if you aren't... OSX is the way to go.

So get a real OS, one that is much more tested, easier to use, and has a
stronger software selection here:

I'm a Windows user because I have WINDOWS based software. Get it yet?

If some enterprising company came up with a operating system that
would support all my Windows hardware and software I would dump
Microsoft crap in a heart beat. So would a hundred million other
people. Some day. Maybe. Apple isn't the solution.
