Carrying on with the rant against all things Microsoft here is a little list of things that really annoy me about Windows. There are many more, so why not add your own!! I am now totally converted to Mac and use my Dual Core Windows machine only to watch films and DVD’s though my HD tv – it’s not even good for that (roll on MacMini hook up). If your wondering, I am an experienced Windows PC user and not some novice who doesn’t know what he’s doing. I was an avid Windows fan for many years, but in the end I had enough. This isn’t intended to wind up windows users.

(Windows fans, don’t bother trying to defend your weak and feeble excuse for an OS. I’d be more productive with a chalk and black board – at least it wouldn’t crash. Mac OS is not perfect, but it sure beats Vista/XP!!)

1. Why do you tell me I have performed an illegal operation, when I try to open a file!! It’s not illegal, you just don’t know what you’re doing Windows.
2. Why does it take 10 minutes to start up? How many different Windows start up screens do I really need to watch?
3. Why when I un-install an application is it still in the Program Files folder. I want to delete you, not hide you!!
4. Why do you try and launch new file formats and then not make them native to other systems (.avi, .wmv, .wma)??
5. A app crashes. No problem i’ll just launch Task Manager – Oh wait, thats crashed too!!
6. Why do I have to click START to turn off my machine?
7. Why did you ever create IE – it simply doesn’t work and isn’t standards compliant. Just when there are hacks for IE6 to work, you bring out IE7- which is even WORSE!!
8. Vista took 6 years and a hell of a lot of money to build, so why doesn’t it work. Its a great big step backwards. Its my bloody machine, if I want to install something – let me, don’t ask me 5 million times!!
9. Why do you re-release old software in a new box – Expression Web, who are you kidding, it looks just like FrontPage!!
10. Why does my machine get slower the longer its running for. Can you not handle the RAM properly?
11. Why don’t you give me some useful help. i.e. “You do not have permission……” its my fuckin machine, ofcourse I have permission!! Jesus!!
12. Why do I have to re-start my machine just to get my printer working??

Please note these are my views and opinions. I know how to use Windows, so please don’t add any silly comments saying that I don’t know what i’m doing!!
