13:19 - Windows moment of Zen
|
(top) |
Well then why in the name of high holy crap didn't you offer it to me before you made me spend two hours installing six or seven consecutive clutches of Windows Server 2008 updates that each required me to reboot before proceeding to the next clutch?
Sheesh. It's like you guys have a vested interest in wasting my time and your bandwidth. I sure am looking forward to doing this eight more times with varying versions of the OS today.
Incidentally, I find it hilarious how Windows Vista "gracefully downgrades" my OS experience to remove effects like drop shadows, translucency, and transition animations because it's decided that the video hardware in my machine—rudimentary and server-grade, granted, but contemporary 2009 technology nonetheless—is not fit to handle it... whereas when Mac OS X debuted in 2000, it fully and smoothly supported every one of those effects, system-wide, on hardware from 1997.
