Customer Reviews:
 I despise this operating system., 2008-09-06
And with good reason, too.
Imagine yourself working on a lengthy post for a forum your office uses as a means of communicating with one another, then imagine that in the middle of writing this lengthy post (at which time you're only running your web browser, and have been sitting on the same page for the past 25 minutes) your screen abruptly goes blue and your computer informs you that it has to shut down, deleting everything you'd just been working on with no advance warning whatsoever. Once again: One program running, sitting on the same web page for almost half an hour, and the operating system STILL manages to trip over itself. Remarkable.
Now imagine that this same phenomenon repeats itself no fewer than 2 times a week.
That's why I despise this operating system. I hope my boss gives me a raise one of these days, 'cause Macs are awfully expensive, but after this experience I will never, ever, EVER, under any circumstances, buy a PC ever again. Thanks a *&%#$@%W#!@ bundle, Microsoft. You're a real sweetheart.
