My supervisor's Toshiba laptop, immediately after restoring with the Toshiba restoration software:



(And I couldn't use our non-crufty Windows XP automagic installer, because it isn't made for tablet PCs, and Microsoft won't let you just download the extra stuff you need to turn Windows XP into Windows XP Tablet PC Edition.)

That's not Microsoft's fault though. It's the manufacturer. Hate Toshiba for that bloatware problem ;).

Hence why the title is "Another reason why I hate PCs", not "Another reason why I hate Microsoft".

Microsoft still sucks for other reasons (today I hate them for the Tablet PC Edition bullshit), but that's not the focus of this thread.

Not all PCs are bad. I own a great PC. Don't hate what you don't understand. I don't hate MACs.

its an easy fix but unfortunately 90% percent of pc users dont know how to do it... instead of coming out with vista why didnt microsoft decide to just sell their own pc's using their hardware and software and not added extra crud and done all the modification that all people should do as soon as they get a pc.


Actually...

Well, isn't that kind of presumptuous to assume I don't understand PCs? It's not as though I haven't worked with PCs, or used them, or written software for them.

Considering you didn't just torrent a Tablet Edition CD ISO. I share your frustration with bloatware, but it's not PCs it's Toshiba.
