New Computer Updating
Got a new computer (PC) at the office. Unpacked it, plugged it in, turned it on. Went through set-up. Launched Internet Explorer. Hit Alt, selected Tools > Windows Update. Accepted all the messages. Installed installer software, accepted repeated messages.
Downloaded and installed 60 Critical Security Updates. Had to restart once during the process to finish installing additional updates.
Sometimes it feels like the people who make computer operating systems don't operate computers. Have they ever turned one of these things on before? Why make it so hard? Why not force update all computers immediately upon starting up? How many people don't run Windows Updates ever and thus have none of the latest security patches?
I have to say it, but when I turned on and installed my MacBook, it was a pleasure. I felt taken care of, and I actually enjoyed the experience.
This one made me want to throw it out the window.
It should be criminal, I tellya...

I've always been a PC guy, but the Pros are getting smaller and smaller while the cons are adding up. Meanwhile everyone who buys a mac loves it.
Someone needs to challenge Microsoft's supremacy, and put out an innovative operating system. Vista is horrible. Some people may say no one can challenge Microsoft, but look at what Firefox has accomplished.
