Microsoft is a fucking stupid piece of shit. After some N years using IE6, my workplace finally upgrade to IE8 on XP just as IE9 is out (God only knows how long it will be before the company switches to the newer browser, but that’s another story for another time).
Now, IE8 is supposedly better than IE6 in many aspect, one of which is tabbed browsing. Can’t wait to use it at work, since it will be much easier for me to do my work. Lo and behold, it doesnot FUCKING work! Everytime I tried, it came up with the BSOD equivalent. No, I don’t fucking want to send a report to Microsoft. Going on the web and on a (link) Micro-fucking-soft website, it suggested to reset everything and see if that helps.
Well, it’s a Microsoft website, right? So it knows what it’s doing, right? Sure enough, after resetting everything, the tab works. But what Microsoft failed to tell me is that it resets all the connection settings, including proxies, DNS, etc. So guess what happened? I lost the internet!!!!! And it’s a work computer, everything is locked down. So I had to go through to our tech department, etc., etc. to get it fixed.
Why can’t a big fucking company do something right? Install Firefox and it just works, install Chrome and it just works, install IE and everything falls to shit, and it’s by the same fucking company that write the fucking OS.
No amount of words could convey my hatred towards this company. I really really really really really really fucking hate Microsoft. I really really really do.
