Windows BARFS on Its Disk Partition AGAIN!!!
,----[ Quote ]
| Ok, I'm officially mad. Steaming. Furious.
| I simply can't believe how awful Windows
| is, and (unfortunately) how gullible I am.
|
| [...]
|
| You have sunk to new lows. You are even
| worse that I had considered you to be.
| You, and the so-called operating system
| that you sell, are the lowest form of scum
| on the earth. Oh yes, I know, Microsoft
| and all of their apologists will be happy
| to tell me that it was my fault, I did
| something wrong (I didn't), I didn't have
| anti-virus installed (I did), I must have
| gotten a virus (I didn't), or a rootkit (I
| didn't), or I screwed up by rebooting at
| the wrong time when an update was
| installing (I didn't, and this isn't
| "patch Tuesday" week anyway, is it? Or is
| it 'patch everyday" with Microsoft now,
| considering all the out-of-cycle emergency
| patches they have been sending out). It's
| simple. Windows is unreliable garbage, it
| always has been, it always will be, and if
| you use it you should be willing to accept
| that risk.
|
| I am no longer willing to accept that
| risk, even part-time as a secondary
| operating system on this laptop. Windows
| is gone, it has puked all over its disk
| for the last time here, and I will not
| reload it. I am in the process of
| transferring the data to one of the Linux
| partitions - yes, Linux is quite happy to
| read the partition that Windows says is
| hopelessly corrupted. When that is done, I
| will reformat that partition and load
| something reliable and useful on it.
| Perhaps CP/M, that would be infinitely
| better.
|
| A very, very angry...
