Pissed beyond belief, they updated my work computer yesterday morning. I spent over a half an hour in perpetual reboots. They are suppose to email us when they do that so we don't lose work. Well after thats done i found out I have IE8. Not a bad thing it looks pretty but every 45 minutes I have to reboot my computer. My position involves cutting and pasting and after about 45 minutes I no longer can cut because when I right click IE decides even though I could cut and paste for 45 minutes I'm no longer allowed and I get some thing to look up in bing Grrr. Closing and reopening IE does not fix this the only fix is to reboot. And the reboot takes 7 minutes with the shut down restart and reconnection to the vpn. I had to reboot 6 times yesterday so I lost 42 minutes of work due to Microsoft sucking

Amy,
Don't blame MS for your workplace trying to hang on to using out of date software. You told me once that they said you could not update due to it breaking the software and I told you that MS was forcing updates and that is when your place should have gotten its act together and fixed the problem.

The problem is not Microsoft but the place you work at does not want to upgrade with the times.

Blaming MS is like me blaming Apple for crappy Itunes experiances on Windows

Well my stuff is up to date now and it sucks so yes it is Microsofts fault.
And iTunes is Apple software not our problem you are trying to run Apple software on a substandard OS

Seriously Amy do you listen to the crap your typing now or do you do it just to get a rise out of people. I told you ages ago that MS was gonna force updates to the latest version of IE so you had plenty of time to tell your IT guy to block any new updates so instead of blaming MS for all your woes you should be blaming the guy IT guy for your computers as he had to know what was gonna happen unless you did not tell him.

Also I don't blame Itunes for the crap it puts me through unlike you with your problem with MS as I don't believe my os is subpar no matter what you keep spouting.

Your a fangirl and want to blame MS for all your troubles with your computer today when you knew ages ago what would happen as I posted the link to the news article as soon as I read about it.

Ignorance is bliss they say but it's not an excuse as you can blame them all you want but it's more your IT's fault as well as your works fault for making you run a substandard os instead of switching you all to Macs. My guess is either Macs wont do the jobs the substandard os that Windows does or they can buy pcs cheaper then Macs , or some other excuse we already went over in the past.

I am done ranting as no matter what I write you will still blame MS instead of your computer guy aka IT specialist that keeps those computers of your jobs running. Of course if I was like you and was to lay blame and did not blame the IT guy my next blamed excuse would be operator error but I wont go there as that was not the case unless you are the IT person as work.

Just my 2 cents worth and I am just trying to make you think about it before blaming ms because it's just easier to do then blaming the computer guy.

Tral I was joking with you like the two of us always have. I know they need to update us I think part of the problem is they are updating computers that need Hardware updates. As far as iTunes, its always sucked on windows side, I don't think Apple really supports windows enough. Sorry you took all of this personal as none of it was meant that way. You and I have joked apple vs ms for years. And yes I had a very frustrating week with this upgrade and again I was joking about it and know its not MS's fault, I do know the IT dept has to support 70,000 people and that a good 50 percent of that works from remote locations so yeah its probably not the easiest job to deal with. If you would have had the week I had you'd understand. My pay is based on productivity to an extent and to not be able to produce work because of a computer issue outside your own control is extremely frustrating esp if your income is depending on it. I know you aren't in that position but if you had to have your computer up working to make an income and it kept crapping out and you were not allowed to do anything to fix it you'd have a little more understanding Tral. Sorry but I have every right to be frustrated

Sorry for taking your joking so damn seriously as I never know when people are joking online unless they add emoticons due to my illness. That is why I fly off the handle like that sometimes.
