Thank You Microsoft!

Ah... with the title you know this will start as a work rant.

Let's start with something I've known for a while, Vista sucks. Don't get me wrong, this is one of the best piece of software Microsoft has ever published, but the little anal quirks it contains drives me up the wall.

President's Day weekend, we had a fairly decent laptop on sale for $599. There was, of course, a line. A couple of us who knew what we were doing had a nice little plan on how to run things. Our theory was, if these people can wait outside for two hours for this laptop, they can wait another 20 min for us to explain every little thing we think they should get with it. Anyway long story short the whole thing goes to hell.

People are stupid. We tell them, this is what you need for this thing to work... they go, no, I don't need it. I usually end the conversation with a big smile and "Good Luck! See you soon!" *cheesy grin*

Love it.

Here's a fun one, well once we got somebody to believe we should do a customization for them. Windows Vista Firewall blocks Windows Update. I'll let you think about that one for a minute.

again... Love it.
