so it only took me 40 minutes to understand how autoarchiving works in outlook.
why must they make it so hard?
here's some windows retardedness, a list:
-in windows xp, if the computer is shutting down, and you close the lid, guess what happens. Thats right, it ****ing hibernates, so when you turn it on later, it resumes shutting down! Conclusion? RETARDED.
-when you're doing windows updates on win7, part of the damn-blasted UAC's feature, is that it puts the permissions dialog box BEHIND the current window. Result: You never see it, all you see is the windows update status bar 'frozen' for about 30 minutes before you realize it hasnt moved and you poke around and find out ****ing windows is waiting for you to click 'yes' and it never showed you that window cuz it was behind all the other windows in the Z order. Conclusion? RETARDED, ****ing Retarded.
-If you click the big blue explorer icon on the taskbar in win7, it opens a new tab. Not a new window as you might expect. I cant tell you how many clients we've seen clicking ferociously on the blue icon and praying to god they get a new window rather than a new tab. Yes, its shift-click for a new window. And hows the average clueless user supposed to guess that? I *hate* that the default of that click is new tab rather than the far more intuitive new window. if people want ****ing tabs, they'll click the ****ing tab button inside an ie window.
-autoarchive: yea, try explaining how it works to your average clueless client. Watch their eyes glaze over. They immediately become susceptible to apple propaganda from any passing apple fanboy during that moment.
-Migrate 300 computers from xp to win7 much? Just ****ing shoot me. What the ****, MS.
-can someone blow up the celeron manufacturing arm of intel? While you're at it take out the Atom processor arm. No, they suck. They do. They just suck. They suck. No, they suck. Replace them permanently with i3 ULVs. Thats as 'bottom' as performance should ever get.
-can someone blow up the department that decided default line spacing in word 07 should be double-wide? And you have to hit shift-enter to get a normal carraige return? I dont know a single person at work who hasnt complained about it and then spent 5 days googling how to change the template (and of course, not having the change stick, cuz making it permanent involves another MS-provided ****ing jigsaw puzzle).
-oh, office 2010 has the same wonderful putrid line spacing feature intact.
-they got rid of the stupid talking paperclip -- only to replace it with stupid auto-correct popup lightning bolts -- which are worse. Yes, they're worse. Even clippy didnt show up as often as they do, getting in the way of your reading, typing, and mousing, at every opportunity.
--MS, no one, no normal user, understands how to use 'virtual folders' in win7. They're not going to use it. Take it away. All it does is contribute to a sense of data insecurity and anxiety cuz now you dont even know definitively in which folder your damn file is actually stored.
Its little things like that that give poor windows such a bad name.
