Sick of Software crap!
Saturday, July 6, 2002 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I am so ticked off. I am just so sick of Microsoft's software being utter garbage. Don't they know how to make a #@$@# exception handler?!?
I was working on my home page for over an hour with MS Front Page. I did a new document and POW, the whole thing crashes losing all of it. Not just grunt work but creative writing stuff that is really hard to just rewrite from scratch.
It really pisses me off that their bread and butter apps are still so buggy that they crash. They don't have an auto-save feature and when you're in the zone, saving is not something you should have to think of doing constantly.
And it's not just Microsoft, the other "big guys" sofware routinely just crashes or screws up. My virus checker interupted my NWN nights game (who was the genius who felt that every time a virus is received in email it needs to abort you out of a game to tell you that you need to quarantine it????). Needless to say, I wasn't able to get back in the game and had to go to a previous save that was a half hour old.
My paint programs are buggy as all hell to. In one, hitting Ctrl-Insert for copy (I never got into the habit of using Ctrl-C) will switch the program into add select mode for no apparent reason. The other one I use just crashes randomly or bogs down after awhile of using it and it's on VERSION 7 for crying out loud (the other is on version 10).
Now I know the software that I work on isn't always perfect either. But it doesn't cost $500 apiece either. For $500 this stuff should be a lot LOT better than it is.
Sorry to vent, so much for my home page getting done today.

grayhaze fires a carefully aimed shot to the back of WindozeXP's head
Sorry that you folks had to see that. He was clearly in a lot of discomfort and was rambling like a madman. It was for his own good. Now he can get some peace in the place downstairs with his other criminal friends...

Or he's using FrontPage to construct his messages. It has a habit of inserting extra redundant code into documents.
