You know Windows sucks when...........
beltorak0:
there's a setting in the registry for win2k and beyond that will reboot the computer instead of displaying the BSOD; so it is still there, you just won't see it unless you turn [AutoReboot] or some such drivel off.
My supervisor had a win2k laptop; he uninstalled a bunch of crap at the same time; including a mysterious entry in the Add/Remove Programs section titled: Unknown. He figured if it was unknown, it couldn't be important.... so uninstalled it became. Then the Windows Install Shield appeard telling him that "windows is prepareing to install the selected application" and the computer promptly rebooted. Everytime windows finished loading, the same message box would appear, and then the computer would shut down. he, my dad-in-law, and me spent 7 hours trying to figure out what it was. even CTL-ALT-DEL didn't halt the inevitable; and safe mode was broke. It would simply hang when tried. So to the computer shop he went, and they tried much of the same shit we did, and finally they put the harddrive into another computer, transfered all his personal data over, and wiped the original. complete re-install. what a shame.
-t.

This is the best example of "those people" (no offense)
Those people who don't backup their shit!
Those people who would rather screw around trying to fix Windows for 7 hours (once again no offense) instead of doing a clean re-install.
Those people who think they can fix Windows when it starts to fuck up.
Those people who should stick with Windows and pay the rest of us to Fdisk their hard drives and kick back while the system boots the Win Cd because they haven't got a clue. I'm glad they bought MS products- cause they're suppose to provide support, and I don't want to be the one doing that for those people. :mad:
And may I repeat, this all happened because someone didn't backup their shit! :mad:
This is not directed to you, and you know who you are.
But I wish the rest of those dumb... (left out) would realize that your damn hard drive is not a fucking file cabinet!
There is nothing more likely to let you down at the worst possible time than a hard drive being used as the one and only copy for important data!
Oh yeah, one more thing, those people need to stop buying those shitty $5.00 surge protectors because they don't protect shit! Tell everybody you know to buy a damn UPS, and if they say "what's that?" tell them it's something that cost 50 bucks that you need! so I don't have to Fdisk your hard drive!

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot the topic.....
You know Windows sucks when someone creates a domain name that wants to fuck the OS's manufacturer.

you know Windows sucks when the platforms that Windows IT guys hate are the platforms that kick its ass.
