A Rant - Thank you Mr. Gates and Microsoft…

An off - subject post.

Several months ago I purchased a new, relatively state of the art, computer. Unfortunately, it came with Windows Vista Home Premium installed. But I use(d) it none the less. And it’s actually been working pretty good.

Now, as with other Windows systems I used, I had set the system to automatically check for and install updates. Never ever had problems with this. So I did the same with this Vista installation.

Again, it was working fine, until this week, when the system downoaded and installed Vista SP 1! Not thinking I folowed the instructions to restart the computer. And that was last I saw of my computer! The computer would no longer boot up, except to a message which gave me several options: Boot in safe mood, restart normally, etc. And of course the old; use the install disc that came with your system to ‘repair’! Which ain’t workin either!!

So here I sit with an expensive door stop!!

Again, Thank You Mr. Gates and Microsoft!
