Microsoft's EventLogging / ReportEvent Crap

Ever use this?
GOD, I can't stand it. It's way too hard/complicated!
Check out this thread

Pretty much sums up the whole damn mess.

Oh MS, when will you learn.
When will the market shift enough so I can start working on a better platform?

MS and ISO

Ever down load an iso from MS?
Did it work?
In the last 4 months I've downloaded 2 iso's from MS.
Neither of them worked.
One was corrupted
The other I don't know, I really don't care, I'm just annoyed.

What's worse? They provide iso's, but they don't provide ways in their lousy OS's to open the iso.
WHY DO I NEED TO BURN A STUPID DISC TO GET AT THE DATA?
JUST GIVE ME A RAR / ZIP for Christ's sake.

Windows Vista stupidity.

How stupid is windows vista?
How stupid is the UAC? User Access Control?
I mean, instead of just asking people to log in as normal users and elevate privileges as needed, we always log in as admin and prompt when things need to be elevated.
If they did the former, then they pretty much could have just left everything the way it was and increase security, but no, not MS, lets make this stuff even crappier, and add even more complexities from a development standpoint. RETARDS.

How about the explorer in vista?
MS lead" "I know, lets copy mac, and do a bad job of it"
Non-retard windows user: "This thing sucks"
Why?
What happened to alt-f rename?
Why do you have to navigate to folders with the mouse for the view on the right to get updated?
Anyone that can navigate with their keypad is left crippled.
