A web artist made this picture of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer using photos of crashed Windows computers showing the iconic 'blue screen of death'....nice. After telling us for, how long?..that Vista is the greatest thing since sliced bread, Microsoft finally admitted Vista is a piece of shit and now introduces the next greatest thing, Windows 7. It seems Windows 7 users are experiencing the deadly blue screen of death. Possible malware or a glitch in security patches? Microsoft can figure that out, I don't care. Fuck their downloads and patches. Why do we have to download "patches" everyday? Just make something work, you people are supposed to be the genius's. What a micro load.

Blue screen of death portrait celebrates Windows 7

That's why I'm a Mac. :)
i agree....all those updates is fucking ridiculous!
That's why I plan to be a Mac
The constant "updates" are ridiculous. Patch my ass Microsoft.
You would think that with all the talent they have, and all the money spent, they could come up with a pretty flawless product, but no.
About 10 years ago we knew a couple who were employed but not making much money. He had a low-end web job, and she worked part-time sales. He applied for a job with Microsoft on a whim. They hired him as a consultant, and he has been there ever since. He did work a lot of overtime, but his first annual salary was in the $250,000 range, plus $1000 per month housing allowance. Lots of other perks, too. If they can afford to pay this and they have so many great minds working for them, why isn't their product perfect? And, how can hackers make their viruses, etc. so perfect at what they do with very little cost (I'm assuming)? My computer bit the big one last May or June, then the laptop went. My husband debugged it and found a total of 30 viruses, the worst of which took over four hours to remove. I just don't get it.

Cristina, the flaws in computers piss me off to no end. They aren't a cheap product and everyone has one. Think about this..if spam was allowed to be put into televisions would people allow it? Why should anyone anywhere put anything into MY computer?? I paid for this sonofabitch and I pay for the gd cable and it should be illegal. No more cookies, spyware, spam, bullshit. It's ridiculous abuse.
I do not like Windows 7 and am really not sure why, it could be because it keeps asking me if I want to do something well uhhh if I didn't want to print that I wouldn't have pressed the print button...the commercials with the 3 yr old working on windows 7 (exaggeration I know) but still those little nose pickers can figure out anything so why make things more easy for em. I don't want to go all the way back to dos but heck what was wrong with windows 98? I am having to buy a new computer for home and not sure but may just get a Mac.

I don't know what the answer is. We got satellite radio for the nicer car so we would have radio without commercials whenever we roadtrip. We've had it for two and a half years now, and for the last year or so, there have been commercial interludes. They aren't any brief 30 second ad, either. It's like an infomercial on the radio. All of a sudden the digital readout says "prostate health" or "time-shares". It should be illegal. It's not what we purchased when we signed up for the service. Same goes for computers. Why is intellectual space like this so easy to violate, and so difficult to keep pristine? Why are cookies even allowable? It's just spying. Don't we have the right to turn down sharing of information? I guess in name we do have that right if we change our settings, but then some of the websites won't come up. It just makes me so damn mad.

That is why I have a Mac too.
I just bought a new netbook with windows 7 starter. it is so streamlined you literally can not change the desktop background picture. How f...ed up is that?
I've literally gone through 4 laptops in the last 3 years due to viruses. I swear, next time I'm buying a Mac...even if it means my kids will have to go hungry. :)
And yet you still have to realize that whoever goes through 4 laptops in a short span of time contributes to to the non-death of windows7.
OT somewhat, but ITA Christina. I thought that the whole point of the satellite radio was to be commercial free. I bought a new car and it came with a 3 month free trial. Of course it's great. I am constantly flipping around listening to great old stuff and discovering new stuff. Then I get hit with a commercial. WTH?! I typically notice it on one particular channel. But it's otherwise a good channel.
I guess even though you pay for it, they will always get commercials in somehow. We don't have it where I live, but I recall some people on here mentioning commericals streaming on their TV during the shows. Again anyway they can stick it in your face and hold you hostage. Like you don't pay enough for cable and I don't even have digital.
I also pay for a cable modem and agree that for that kind of money, I should not have to deal with spam and crap. I have XP on a desktop and Vista on a laptop. Everytime I boot one up, I go through all kinds of upgrade or service pack crap. Makes me crazy. The desktop is slow because it is old, but the damn laptop and that Vista is insane! Connie ITA you can't click without it asking you if you are sure you want to click!
Sorry for that rant, but I feel better I am not alone
I know Muser,..but uhhhh maybe I just don't like change and I complain about it all the time to our IT guys, I also Hate the e-mail for outlook on it...or maybe when the guys put windows 7 on our machines they took a lot of things off that I once could get into at work and it runs so much slower so ummmm maybe I'm blaming 7 for that. I need counseling.

What I hate it how fast computers get outdated. They are so expensive and yet they will be dated within a year. Until last February I had been using a computer I got in 2002, not exactly ages ago, but it was a dinosaur by computer standards. By the time it finally died it could only load about five different websites and everything else would just freeze the computer.
I am pissed they charge so much for something that becomes obsolete so fast. The computer I am using now is second-hand.
The hackers and people who create new viruses just for the fun of it will always be with us...
Flaws and all I still love the computer and don't know how I could live without it.
I have a mac pro. So I don't have those issues! :D
We got our son a laptop a few months ago, and it still blows me away that anything below about $500 was considered a "throwaway" because it was likely to have so many issues, and require more to repair than to just buy a new one. WTF?? The sales people told us that. $500 was the break point between throwaways and decent laptops. How many people can really afford to "throwaway" $500?
I think this really is criminal. If those are "throwaway", they shouldn't be allowed to sell them. Why should anyone knowingly be able to sell something this expensive that they already know is crap, and probably have the help lines be in India, or somewhere???

So much B.S. Vista was supposed to be the shit. Turns out it is and not in a good way. I need to replace this one soon and would love a Mac to get around some of the problems. But dang, that's a big chunk o change right there. Speaking of change....I'm not great at it. Worth the money mac users? lifepan?
