Windows 7 - The saddest of days.
I have edited this post cus I did get a bit angry .. but hey.
It is not my intention here to insult and annoy anyone that
loves their MS or Apple. So if you are easily offended I
would simply close the blog. This is my view based on my
experience of using the various platforms.
Been here before on a number of occasions. Being forced out of
using an OS cus the makers pull the plug on support. I don't get
too phased, but I do reflect on the amount of money Microsoft make
and their total disrespect for poor old users like me that really
hate their current junk and so have to run the gauntlet with
security issues.
I had all the prompts last year and the free offers of upgrades
but I ignored them all. I do have a Win10 machine sitting here
from the good folk of DeLL. Cost me around £850 brand new but
the day I switched it on I just switched it off and spent a good
sum of money repairing my Win7 machine. Turned out to be a burnt
out GPU. I just had to do something. Win10 is crap. Utter garbage.
The world of computing was destroyed by '**cking' Apple and
bloody mobile phone users. The wonderful world of ' real '
computing was sacrificed at the cold hands of ibollocks and every
crap product to come out of Apple Macinshite. MS ran scared and
did what they always do ... thought they could buy into the
technology without giving a thought to what it meant to their
customer base. Started with Vista, until some guy obviously got
through to the powers at be that they were destroying their user
base. Sadly that gave Apple the 'steamy windows' chance to creep
in and seduce users with icrap.
I really don't care what mobile phone users do with their **cking
phones. I really couldn't give a **it. Seriously go have a blast
with social media farming and bull**it Fartbook. Your life, you
spout out as much about yourself, and share all you like. For me
though I need file management, task bars, notepad, text editors etc
and most importantly an OS that leaves me alone. I don't need
to know about the bloody weather, the news, the latest stock prices.
I don't use social media or fartbook and pin-incest or fartogram.
I detest and hate the things.
I keep my computing as simple as possible. Login, check my mail
and then do what I want to do without internet intrusions. Norton
keeps me safe and I can use all my beloved software. I play my
games. I use Windows Explorer, Notepad and Paint. That's about
it. File management is via Thumbs and artwork I use Photoshop and
Avidemux. I like YouTube but hate Google. I also like Ebay.
My world in a nutshell.... and I play games. Mostly now back
on the PS3 cus MMOs just got so bloody boring.
And so to my gripe. I have Win7 running perfectly. It works
without fault. It has been a dream. Someone at MS finally got
it right. But sadly now they want to pull the plug on life
support. So I am biding my time till Norton remove their support.
I refuse to use free-bee virus checkers and Macafuk is crap. I
have it on the Win10 machine. So my poor Win7 machine, my last
in the blood line of 'real' computers sits helpless waiting
for the kill switch. At times like this I **cking hate you
Microsoft. I hate Apple even more with their ibollocks.
Sadly mobile phones destroyed the printed word, real shops, real
human interaction and finally real computers. The world gets
what it deserves so like when Venkman asks what happens when
the power is switched off from the ghost prison, there is a
simple gesture of 'boom'. I am not saying that the mobile phones
will destroy the planet in a big 'boom'... but what I do predict
is just what I said ... ' You get the world you deserve '. For
me I have been fortunate to have lived in a world that was much
much better. Way more rich and less hypocritical, less abusive and
more compassionate about real, red blooded human beings. In time
there will be a realisation that you cannot keep spouting endless
bollocks in the vein hope that someone, anyone is listening.
Cus in the end the words just all merge into one inaudible load
of nonsense that nobody can hear. And that is when a very very
important statement that could have changed everything for the
better will be drowned out by the empty barrels.
Too much.
Anyhoo... not your problem. My problem. I stay with Win7 till I
can no longer survive and then may even pull the plug on the
internet all together. Totally doable. I have enough data to last
out the years of my life. A gazillion times over. I have a very deep
rabbit hole. So funny.
Up yours Microsoft.
OK with that said. Where was I ?
