There is no doubt that Microsoft has done enormous things
for the computer industry, and that Windows has become a universal
standard. However, Microsoft frequently changes things without
notice, which affects millions of people and thousands of programs.
Furthermore, they rarely fix bugs. Oh, they document some of
them. They have a "Knowledge Base" containing thousands
of known problems, but these are rarely fixed. The monthly service
patches are fixes to critical holes that hackers exploit to take
over your system. But bugs in Windows XP and the previous operating
systems are rarely, if ever, fixed.
This section is a list of some of the things I have personally
encountered, and sometimes spent days on, seeking a fix or workaround.
Microsoft is actually aware of the pain they cause users.
Click
here and watch a video of how they punish programmers who
mess up. You have to scroll half way down the page to get to
the video. (It's a joke, but I personally wish it were real.)
