I just reinstalled windows for the 2nd time on my laptop, because networking had become a slow monstrous beast. Not only was connecting to another windows machine a pain in my keister, it also was causing me to be unproductive at work because of all the anomalies associated with a problem that has no concrete cause.
I hate windows. Has networking ever worked painlessly? Correctly? All the time? Has anyone ever come up with a solution to those anomalies that occur seemingly monthly where networking blows up, my computer connects slowly, and productivity comes to a standstill?
Why does my co-worker who has Vista still complain daily of the problems he has had/is having with networking??
Why does Microsoft, who has billions upon billions, create such a POS unstable system?
Why does Microsoft not care? Why can't they build an operating system that works??
Barring my 228k mile honda accord doesn't break down(again) in the next three months, I'm buying a Mac. Then I'm taking out my Windows OEM discs and bid them fairwell as I chop them up into little pieces, grind them into dirt, seal them in an envelope and mail them off to Mr. Dumb-as Gates. At least that's how I feel right now as my brother surfs the contents of my computer, while my little "trying real hard, while nothing happens" computer, complains, groans, belches, puffs, snorts, contorts, backfires, and takes 5 minutes to come back with a "unable to connect message"....
I give up. Windows has never worked when it has come to networking. And as networking is the fruit by which I am productive or not, this is just beyond unacceptable.
I'm done with this non-productivity suite called Windows. Hells Bells Microsoft, just give me and operating system that works!
