Fuck off
Good grief this guy is annoying, much like most people in basic IT are and why I would hate to work in the industry at this level.
Windows 7 is a horrid OS. Ugly and annoying with half its original features disabled and shity security. 8 is a mess but even though Unity has had just fucking type in what you want for years, one swipe and it's there. Oh but guess what, the IT 'pros' hate that too. Metro is a simplified approach for new users and those on touch screens but those admin types just want to tell them how they've been using a computer all this time and that's the only way to do it.
And then he bangs on about Ninite (and that you have to pay for it) and I just want to throttle the guy.
We're moving even further away from what computing should be:
Centralised repositories that update automatically with the (secure) option to install things outside repositories too. And don't you even fucking start about how you fucked up a Windows Update that broke your precious setup. You went and manually installed it obsessively and if it's work, you need the fucking job.
The same with drivers.
No more fucking Start Menus with apps listed under company names and sometimes not in a folder at all. What a fucking joke that is. Even listed under categories is awkward but better.
Basically what using a tablet / phone is like but with a great big search box to find shit.
Chrome without all its bullshit crap that doesn't work that does work in Firefox (not Chromium! Fuck off nerd)
The death-knell for security software. The complete and utter oblivion of it. Fuck your 128 gigs of RAM and running 17 anti-malware 'solutions'.
If not then life on a computer just becomes this huge waste of time where you're back to being 14 i.e. when it was fun to do so.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
