My Windows Rants for the Night
- Installing an application from Office should not replace my current default email program settings, and replace the icon in my start menu with that of Outlook. That’s rude. I know that MS wants me to use nothing but it’s products, but please, that just pisses me off.
- Windows Media Player 10 should:
- Know if there is an update, even if the current install is a beta, I don’t like seeing “click here to upgrade to WMP10” and click help->check for updates to see ‘no updates available’.
- Not use my default browser to open links
- Know if there is an update, even if the current install is a beta, I don’t like seeing “click here to upgrade to WMP10” and click help->check for updates to see ‘no updates available’.
At least installing WMP10 didn’t make me reboot….
That is all, good night.
Can you remember how many reboots SP2 required? I think that rebooting has become so ingrained into Windows users that we don’t even notice anymore.
Hmm… I don’t recall Office 2003 making me reboot…
Wim – Didn’t make me reboot either.
I haven’t actually put xpsp2 on my computer, but when I did my other windows box I seem to remember it was just one, which is normal, basically a kernel update right?
