I think I begin to understand. Microsoft dominates the market because they rush their software to market with teenage programmers that only occasionally came from college. They get the features out with no testing because the users all want to be "Beta" testers of the next version. Most companies have to pay a tseting team to test their product -- MS skips testing and goes straight with alpha and beta products to market taht have no design review, no code review... nothing. Then they hope for lots of security bugs
to hit market so they can supply bogus security patches that decrease system stability and speed --
gradually, so you will want to buy new compuer and when new version comes out it will appear so much
faster than their previous patched version that by now is patch so much it's running the equivalent
of VBcode for the entire OS.Â
I made the stupid mistake of trying to do a 'sfc'. I found out the regkey to point to where
XP was, then it wanted SP1. Nothing worked. Finally gave up and rebooted. Lost all local network
shares -- can't see domain. Claims the domainname has been removed (server hasn't changed) -- I
tried a system restore...BAHAHAHAHA....what a joke. Anytime anything serious goes wrong it
doesn't work. shure it can back out a simple reg patch, or driver install....but backl out system
file checker damage?....forget it. Now I'm *way* hosed...everything is running slow as mud, can't
install network shares (even though I can' contact server via http, imap (only in mozilla, outlook is still
dead), ssh....yeah,
I havea bad attitude --- I've sent nice letters, I sent nice bug reports, they always gett ignored.
They know what they are doing --Â they want to force us to run Windows 2003 on home server.
So many of the software vendors are selling nothing *useful* -- they only exist to manage all the deficiencies
in the computers -- they don't do useful work that computers were intended to do -- like a word
processor, or publisher, or image work, .... seems like all the new latest programs are for managing
and protecting the computer -- and ***ALL**( that is waisted overhead. Instead of a better
mouse trap -- better graphics, a 3D desk top, etc. All we get are programs to manage the thing that is
supposed to simplify our lives. More and more effort is going in every year to service the computer --
not the people in doing useful work -- but just work to manage the computers -- that's all overhead
due to deficiencies in the OS. Defragmenters provide almosot no useful benefit on modern
file systems like XFS -- only in extreme real-time computer video modeling did 1 customer ask for
a way to get just a bit more .... but most people don't end up with defragmentation -- and what is
there is included free, installed and runs automatically, for free in the background.
Releases are put out regularly -- not 10 patches a week each killing moroe features and performance.
I'm very pissed, I can't afford to waste time debugging MS bugs that they refuse to fix anyway
unless I pay them to fix the broken code they sold me in the first place. We need to push for
software warantees comparable to any other consumer product. Why should software makers get
off scott free and be making Bill Gates the richest man in the world (depending on the day)?
Why doesn't he get a clue and open soure the OS so at least we can get some intelligent people looking at these problems.? He's a saddist that enjoys watching people suffer.. He is a sick psycho thatt needs
professional help. BTW....the fact that my computer is echoing keys about 10 keys behind my keystrokes has nothing to do with my irritation ....the fact that he promises big but can't, won't or refuses to
deliver -- what does he do instead? He puts companies on a subscription plan so they have to pay even
when he doesn't release a bug fix version! Brilliant...to get paid for doing nothing.
So software restore doesn't work. I have MS virus files that since loaded have corrupted my
computer as bad or worse than the MSBLASTER virus....and MS claims no responsibility for their
damage. We're gonna have to see how well their crap product warantee holds up in court...
OEM? Waht's that? My dog musta installed it. (I keep telling them not to get on the keyboard...but
if a million monkey can develop Winxp, certainly a dog can press and OEM key.
Pissed (and needed more help than it seems anyone can give with my bright and refreshing attitude().
