Rant of the day:Microsoft
by Viktor Hansson on 01 June 2015, 20:01
Time for a new rotd.This one is directed to the company that makes me want to go live in the woods without electricity. M$. How I dispise every single thing this evil company stands for (with one exception).
It feels like everything they ever do is just to ruin everything and make it as bad as it could possible be. A few examples I though of while waiting for VS 2013 to uninstall:
- Windows can't display PDFs
- Windows image viewer disregards any rotation flags in images
- Windows can't mount ISOs
- Windows can't have multiple taskbars
- Windows can't select audio sink per application
- Windows *very* often crashes/locks up when cancelling any action.
- VS 2013 took over 30 minutes to uninstall.
Now I know that some of these problems can be fixed with third party, virus ridden applications, but the point is that for a modern operating system, this should not be neccessary.
And don't get me started on Skype... Skype... If I tried my hardest, I am not positive that I could have ruined a once great application such as skype more than what m$ has done to it.
I litteraly can't even.
