With Each Passing Day, My Hatred Grows
It’s been about a month since I have had to switch to Windows for work. Every day I run into something new about Windows that slows me down in my work. Coupled with the ugly form factors of the computers themselves, I get very frustrated at work. I have even switched from Microsoft Office to Open Office, because I am so fed up with Microsoft.
My latest frustration is now with Microsoft’s very own Virtual Desktop Manager. The point of a virtual desktop is to create a workspace, where your windows can reside so they don’t clutter other workspaces. Microsoft does not get this at all. If I place a window into one virtual desktop and click on its taskbar button, I can still pull it over to a different virtual desktop. Why?! I put the window apart from my current workspace so I can’t accidentally cover what I am currently working on at the time! It’s like piling papers on top of something you’re currently doing.
Microsoft has earned a place on my list of companies to destroy, right up there with Ticketmaster and McAfee. I know it’s a far stretch, but if you set your goals too low and accomplish them, you end up with nothing to do. You have to set your goals high.
