This is a great example of Microsoft Patches breaking things instead of fixing them. This is why I haven’t installed their patches since SP2 forced it’s way onto my machine.

This particular post is NOT where it BELONGS! It is ACTUALLY in answer to the post by the self-professed ’software developer’.

As a software developer I do know that bugs in software are inevitable. When a manufacturer releases software it is because the testing period has ended and most bugs have been discovered. An operating system is no different, just more complex. Some bugs are very hard to find and some bugs are not bugs at all, but the way that an option is handled. So the bottom line is that sometimes bugs are not discovered until long after the software has completed the testing period.

How in bloody BLAZES was this (Microsoft “Windows”) OS *ever* let out the door of Redmond? Christ on a crutch; if General Motors *purposely* (as appears to be the case with Micro$oft) engineered such unreliability into their various product lines, then GM would have *long* since been (figuratively) pushing up daisies, and nobody would miss them.

I saw a certain troika (Bill & Melinda, also Warren Buffet) on “Charlie Rose” last night, and there were more than a few moments where I wanted to do nothing more than release the contents of my stomach (i.e. “puke”). Who was it who said “There is nothing so honored as an ancient evil”? That certainly (imho) applies to Bill Gates (and let’s not forget Andrew Carnegie; Molly Maguires, anybody?), John D. Rockefeller Sr. (founder of Standard Oil), and probably a few others. Predatory business-practices early in life, then trying to wash their spiritual slate clean by giving away money afterwards?

I’d probably not include Mr. Buffet, but Bill certainly qualifies.
