Microblog: #$%& Microsoft!

Posted in General Rant at 11:34 am by Administrator

So I installed the new IE 7 patch – or rather, I should say that Microsoft installed it FOR me. Then I did a restart – and got a HANG. Ok, no big deal – this happens all the time! So, I’ll just restart.

Restart, get welcome screen. HANG.

Restart. Get welcome screen… hard drive spinning for 11 minutes… HANG.

Restart. Get welcome screen… pause…. hard drive spinning for 14 minutes. Login. Loading (except QuickLaunch toolbar not showing)… start up mail client. HANG.

Restart. Get welcome screen… pause…. hard drive spinning for 11 minutes. Login. Loading… loaded. Choose “Turn Off” from options.

Restart. Finally back and running. THANK YOU Microsoft – you’ve managed to push me even closer to buying a Mac!
