Windoze

ARGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet again, more kerfuffle with Windows XP on my works laptop! How is it we (by which I am referring to collections of people working together who have some knowledge of computers) put up with Windows Operating Systems?! At the very least, Gates should come clean and just call his stuff 'Non-operating Systems' when talking about the nasty code that runs software on most of the world's PCs.

Got another BSOD the other day, on start up oddly enough, causing the machine to run chkdsk, which in turn reported it had fixed a number of corrupted files - nice of it, eh? Of course, why is it said files are corrupted? I've got anti-virus after all, and Windoze's frontline security is ever-present isn't it?

Anyway, DB2 is knackered, thanks to the problem, as I get constantly reminded now when I boot up, something to do with a DB2 DLL not being the same as its 'image'.

What a load of old $hit computers really are... now to uninstall and reinstall DB2, there goes another hour of my life.

you've gotta love them. Like micro$ofts slogan

Life without walls.

In which case, who needs windows? Or Gates?

Install Ubuntu Linux :D

Okay, I know you can't on a work laptop but it's worth considering for home.

i *jokingly* asked ICT to put Linux on the D620 when it went back last week for the XP rebuild...
