I certainly have no love for Microsoft, but I think it was a stroke of genius for Bill Gates to give away the operating system to the public... guarantees him a massive installed base to cram more busted junk down our throats during auto-downloads! Also, my current hate-on for Microsoft is that the common user HAS to rent his software now!!! I just had to rent the Office suite for another year! I'm betting that alone has made him a trillionaire!? I heard part of a quick interview with him where he states and actually believes his companies parasitic practices are good for the user!? Of course I use Win11 cause it was "free"... but I've had to go online to purchase full Windoze 11 on a USB stick, to fix some busted junk in my systems... I'm sure it's illegal, but eff 'em...Good morning, Graeme. I'm not running the show yet, but they gave me the power to spec and buy expensive things. I'm wrapping up the yearly PC "refresh," in which I replace and recycle most of the computers that are five years old, and "waterfall" ones from power users into easier lives, with a higher-spec replacement of the original for the power user. A PC used by an executive might end up as a tech station, checking skis and boots into, and out of, inventory. This year, I shuffled more than 40 computers, and next year, it'll be more than 60.
Microsoft screwed up multiple facets of domain PC management, so a process that used to take about 20 minutes per machine takes about 60-90 minutes. I secretly enjoy the fact that domain-joined Macs openly flout GPOs. Microsoft sucks, and Windows 11 epitomizes most of the things they've botched.
What exactly is Donnie Darko? Heard the name of course, but not a clue what it's/he's about?I understand that Donnie Darko is coming back to theaters, and I may have to buy some tickets.
