Re: News angle?
'.. "Oh, I am on Windows and I have no issues..."'
Lets see..just a representative sample of the last week's worth@work..
Monday: Win7 CAD machine - Printer driver issues,
Tuesday: Win7 CNC controller machine - RS-232 starts acting up.
Wednesday: no issues (yaaay!, I can actually do some real work for a change)
Thursday: The return of DLL hell...Win7 design machine starts acting up.
Friday: DLL hell spreads to applications running on the Remote Desktop machine (in cupboard, several miles away at the other end of the leased fibre..road trip), return of Monday's printer driver weirdness.
@home?, I've not booted into any Windows OS on any of the machines since last weekend, and that was only to check the status of updates (prior to that, it was a couple of months ago), so I can honestly say that I have no issues with MS Windows at home.
