I agree 100 Percent, Microsoft used to be a great firm. But now it is just, .... I dont know what to say, ... evil ....
I hate Microsoft
I have been using windows for over thirty years and it has always had huge problems. From it inception back up and restore has never worked. And that is why no computer repair shop to this day uses it. But that is just an old example. Let’s dive into my current situation and why I hate them with a passion. I recently, due to motherboard issues needed to get a new computer. I opted for a Dell xps. It came with windows 11, my only option. Mistake number one. You see I needed to run windows 10 because my audio interface is FireWire and windows dropped fire wire support with 11. I did not feel like buying an expensive new audio interface. As well a lot of my software will not run on windows 11. Some of it are old VST plugins that are creative tools for me, and I need to use them. Oh and don’t talk JBridge to me. Yeah try that in 11. So I decided to add a drive and run a dual boot windows 10 drive and a windows 11 drive. Sounds good right. Well no, windows 11 does everything to prevent you from doing it. Their lovely UEFI bios is the devil…truly. Finally with help of two computer shops and a gazillion friends I got two drives with each version working. I reinstalled all of my music software and made copious back ups with Fbackup, Aomie backupper, and windows. I went through making multiple backup boot recovery drives with a lot of pain getting there. Finally I though all was good….until windows 11 decided to update upon a startup. It went well and windows 11 seemed all fine. But when I went to the bios upon restart to load windows 10, which is now the only way to have a dual boot, thanks microsuck, it would not boot into the 10 drive. After four try’s it finally went to the windows 10 drive. Everything looked fine and all of the. Programs were working but when I went to shut it down, the start menu as well as the search bar and most everything else in the task bar would not work. Somehow the windows 11 update on the other drive messed with 10 on the other. Evil. I tried to restore from different backups to no avail, still no menu etc. I tried to do a repair..nope. I finally tried a new install from a boot disk….no drives seen to install to…****! My last hope is a new install from a never used windows 10 usb stick, but I doubt it will work either. It will give me the same bs about no drives to install onto. Oh and let’s not forget when I was installing software in windows 10 it actually put it on the 11 drive. So in conclusion, I don’t believe we ever landed on the moon or are communicating with voyager 1 and 2. Not possible…unless nasa is using apple. So, yes, I hate you Microsoft and will never endorse any one to use your products. You really suck.

2024-11-26T12:45:34+00:00 This company does not seem to care about anything. They have offered flawed products since the beginning. I am still waiting for them to fix each and every operating system they offered back to windows 3.1. Still producing programs that are not fully functional and no one cares.

The more they try to protect their cosy little nest, the further they will alienate us. Microsoft watch your back.
