I HATE MICROSOFT (long rant)

[Lynn]

I hate Windows 8.
Took a good 10 tries just to download Adobe Reader. Seriously? It doesn't come with Adobe reader???????
Then when it finally downloaded every picture and every folder with a picture is gone. GONE. All my pics of the twin grandsons in the last year. Gone. Fortunately, I had them all backed up on a separate external hard drive. Every document I created is gone. Glad I didn't buy this for the office.

I hate that the bastards have to change everything every couple of years. What is it that is so f ing important that I am supposed to be able to do on this new Windows 8 computer that I can't do on my old XP? I bet nothing.

The only computer I have that NEVER gives me any issues is 16 years old and running Windows 98SE. Of course, it is NOT hooked up to the internet, so no one can access it from on line. The one I run at the office that is online is XP. So of course, they tell me not to run XP after this month, because there will be no support.

I hate Microsoft Word. I hate that they keep changing it. If I could, I would still use WordPerfect for everything (and I do for all my legal docs and client info, which by the way is on that 16 year old computer). But it turns out that I am like the last guy in the civilized world to use WordPerfect. Because the rest of the world insists on Word, I have to use it.

After buying Office 2010 retail 3 times (one for each computer), my new computer at the house (with Windows 8) tells me it is invalid. I have the product key, and it recognizes it as a valid product key, but tells me validation has "failed". No, you sob's have failed. If it were up to me, I would still be using the 2002 version of Word. But then every time someone sends me a document in the newer (docx extension instead of doc.) document, I CAN'T OPEN THE DAMN THING WITH THE OLD VERSION. I guarantee you there is nothing that I can do with the new docx version that I couldn't do with the old version. No reason to change it other than planned obsolescence. Greedy bastards.

I swear I am going to die in front of this piece of $hit. I am going to stroke out, it pisses me off so badly.

Did I tell you I hate Microsoft?
