Can I ask an enormously stupid and off the wall question?
Why is it that some folks seem to have nothing but problems with Windows and I have nary a problem?
Granted I have had a problem or tow along the way. I have done real stupid stuff like do upgrade instead of clean installs, cloned drives instead of clean installation, and I have even had to reload windows a time or tow, but that is over the process of 15 years.
So why is it that I seem to have very little problems running windows and some seem to have nothing but problems.
By the way when my wife worked at the newspaper she would always complain about their computers, and problems they were having.
Oh by the way they were an all Mac shop. Stewart At 04:28 PM 6/11/2009, you wrote:
But, doesn't marketplace dominance determine what is best? I thought that concept was the whole theory of how the almighty marketplace sorts out the wheat from the chaff. All I ever hear is how MS Windows commands over 90% of computer sales, and therefore that means computers with that OS installed at the time of purchase are the best. In addition to their cheap cost, don't most people buy Windows machines because "everyone else" has one? How can so many people possibly be wrong? As a little current and pertinent aside, let me say that when I arrived at work today the subject of great discussion was about how the computers were running very slowly. Needed apps resident on the hard drive were taking forever to load and the internet could not be accessed at all. Folks were, yet again, frantically trying to get the POS and other software to load and run. This was mentioned to me, but ever weary of this fairly routine conundrum, I told them that I had no comment on the situation and had nothing to offer. I did wonder, however, how can the best so often be so flaky? W32 virus this time? A lot of downtime was clearly going to be the order of the day. That prediction did not disappoint. Thank goodness I managed to get out of there early before tempers really started getting short. Steve
