I have so many problems with computers I can’t even list them.
I really feel Microsoft shouldn’t have developed Windows Vista, 7, 8 and rather fixed XP. We would have a really usable OS. With every new OS they introduce a shitload of new bugs (that they don’t have time to fix later).
And this is not even surprising. Windows codebase is huge, enormous and any software with that size will have lots of bugs.
But with the chase of new, we miss out on good enough.
Some of us don’t need the new stuff, we just need something that works and we can use. For some of us our OS is not a game, that we need excitement from. It is our work environment.
By the way this is not just about Windows, most of these can be told about Linux (Ubuntu Unity anyone?)
When you have to work in an office or factory that is falling apart around you it’s hard to do your best 🙁
Of course people expect windows to run on some pretty shitty hardware so it’s not easy (in contrast where Apple hand picks their hardware).
We cannot have an actually working reliable platform it seems.
Here is one of my problems: blurred, color shifts in font rendering.
It seems like the thing described here:
Windows 7 patch KB 2670838 fries Firefox fonts
“I changed gfx.content.azure.enabled from true to false as a workaround and that corrected the display”
