Window's is quite irritating.
« on: June 14, 2011, 07:39:46 AM »
So I head in to work in the office at 6:45 am this morning and start working. A message pops up and says WINDOWS 7 has updates would you like to defer or update now?  I click defer. (I'm in the middle of something).  It goes away.I'm into a job for 15-20 min. BAM! I see a window that says something like,...SAVE SAVE AS.... and before I figure out whats happening it fades away. Then BAM! another window comes to the forefront. Says same thing and  fades away. 

Next thing I know, It's restarting the PC.
Window's is quite irritating.

you can change the settings.  Nothing was worse than coming in the next day to a restarted computer.

One time I was in the middle of a presentation for a new customer when it happened. I almost threw my laptop down the steps :(

I want to throw my Windows 95 CD's at anyone's head, ninja style,  who says "mac" or "get a mac".   ::)
I've been with Microsoft since DOS 3.0. and Windows 3.0 and love 'em.

Apple does make an awesome game device, I mean phone  :P

I think the reality is, Windows is quite usable and has come long ways in the last decade or so. The other side though is, Mac is more stable and user friendly (and yes, I would know. My last business before this, I was an IBM business partner buying truckloads of equipment at a time. My background is in computer engineering.). Even though I had IBM computers on the shelf (that I could take home any time I wanted to) I ran a Mac at home for many, many years.

Dan on the other hand will never be happy with Windows, even when it is better than the Mac!

I might have few laying around. It might be closer for me to fling them at Dennis, he is right across town!

I'll make sure to play the following as they fly at him:

Rolling Stones-start me up

I think it is personal between windows 7 and Dan.

I run 7 and it has been stable as XP and better at that. I have not messed with the updates settings yet and surprisingly they are much less annoying than older windows. Like I said it must be personal lol.

On a side note I know many here love Tiger Direct. My 600 watt power supply crapped out so I ordered a new 750 from Tiger. Keep in mind my PSU needs to be 24 pin with PCI express six pins two min and at least 4 SATA's. They apparently did not have the one in stock I ordered so some knuckle head thought all he had to do was grab a similarly priced unit and send. The one I got was 400, no six pins two satas and only 20 MB pin. What made it so expensive was all these cool neon lights and fiber optic cables yea.

I called them explained never swap a computer part with something else they almost will never be compatible.
