I just don’t get it. Considering how much I HATE Windows Vista, I was all over the Windows 7 Beta. The day it came out, I had it downloaded and installed. It worked like a charm. No problems, didn’t have to change anything on my computer, kept all my files, it was great. And I LOVED the new OS. It is clean, smooth, runs fast, has cool features, and I really love docking my programs in the task bar.
Then what happened?? The god damned Release Candidate!! That’s what happened. I don’t know at which point Microsoft decided to add in their freezing, crashing, slow ass, shitty “plugin” to their OS, but it was apparently at the RC stage. Did they not get enough complaints during the Beta? Was it too good? Why did they feel it was necessary to “Microsoftify” Windows 7? Is there someone at the company who goes “Well, this is working too well. We better make sure our OS lives up to people’s standards and freezes and crashes all the time. It wouldn’t be Windows without it.” Does having a shitty OS somehow make them more money? Maybe since it creates the insane desire to get the next OS in the hopes that it won’t suck, Microsoft intentionally builds in everything we hate about PCs. I never thought about it before, but I’m now pretty sure that’s the case.
So, now I’m off to format my hard drive for the 3rd time and put shitty ass Vista back on my laptop so that I can work for more than an hour without my laptop freezing. *sigh* I wish I could just have the beta version back.
