If everyone who was irate at Windows for its causing frustration had cause to sue, Microsoft would be bankrupt already. xD
Do what the rest of us do. Post a hissy fit about it on the internet, and try to garner sympathy.
Oh wait...
NEWSFLASH
ALL FUCKING OS's CAUSE IRRIATION
ITS NOT THE OS BUT THE NATURE OF COMPUTERS THEMSELVES
seriously get the fuck over yourself
no product or service that deals with computers is perfect
Thanks for missing the entire point of my post, brain-donor. :/ I can see that subtlety and wit are wasted on you. Let me break it down into toddler-simplistic terms, m'kay?
Since the OP was referring to a Windows platform, I simply continued with it. Now, as is the case with all computers, the OS is going to cause frustration. Windows is certainly no exception, and due to its massive following, the number of things users can do to cause themselves heartburn is great. Add to that the fact that new patches and updates often cause hardware driver issues in Vista and XP, and you get a situation pretty much like the OP's.
Now then. When said user experiences said frustration, it is customary for him to feel angry at the developers of the object of his ire - in this case Windows Vista. If he were to be allowed to sue for this frustration, then any Tom, Dick, or Harry would be allowed the same, and Microsoft (as well as Macintosh) would never make any money, or have funding to fix their problems.
In order to satirize this fact even more, I advised the poster to do what anyone else would do, and complain about it to make himself feel better. Then I paused as I pretended to realize all at once that my guidance came too late.
Thank you for missing the joke entirely, and causing me to have to bring it down to the mental capacity of an earthworm, just to make sure you didn't have a conniption fit over it in your zeal to protect the fragile reputation of your championed operating system.
and just so you know, I use Vista and enjoy it for the most part. Get off my case, you anal-retentive doofus.
