Why I hate Microsoft
Tuesday, August 18, 2009 2:48 pmPosted in category Rants, Technology
I just dialed into a customer’s computer with Copilot to install pdf writing software. I tried printing a web page in Internet Explorer 7 and instead I got 30 pages of HTML. Microsoft’s support site had info on fixing this problem for IE4 and nothing else. After some googling, it turns out the fix was to re-enable IE as the default browser or uninstall AOL. Seriously guys, what kind of bug is this. It is crap like this that drives me away from Windows. Gahh I cannot stand it at all. Dealing with issues such as that are such a total waste of time. My Mac has problems from time to time as well, but nothing like that.

No other option on this client’s machine. If I could have I would have switched them over to Firefox.
