The iPad May Be Humorous, But Windows 7 Is Frustrating
,----[ Quote ]
| I fired up a PC I havenât used in a while,
| expecting to have to sit through the mind-
| numbing Windows Update parade. What I was
| confronted with was worse than that, as the
| computer refused to boot properly. I found
| myself staring at the window above, telling me
| that something was wrong and asking if I
| wanted Windows 7 to fix itself. I told it yes
| and the fun began.
|
| It sat and did something, I donât know what
| but the hard disk was thrashing, for a good
| while. Eventually it indicated it needed to
| restore the system to an earlier point, so I
| said yes. This fired off another seemingly
| endless process that eventually required a
| reboot.

| And there's another reason why yesterday was significant: Microsoft announced
| what are probably its worst quarter results ever:
|
| Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $13.65 billion for the third
| quarter ended March 31, 2009, a 6% decline from the same period of the prior
| year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the
| quarter were $4.44 billion, $2.98 billion and $0.33 per share, which
| represented an increase of 3% and declines of 32% and 30%, respectively, when
| compared with the prior year period.
|
| Now, the global financial crisis certainly contributed to those figures, but
| I think there's a bigger underlying trend here, which is that the Microsoft
| money machine is faltering.
