Microsoft, Clueless or Sadist
I just had to reinstall SQL Server 2005 AGAIN on Windows Vista. Why, oh I don’t know, perhaps I have a bit too much enthusiasm. Sadly, this routine is a normal thing in the Microsoft world. To put this in perspective, I have NEVER, EVER had to reinstall ANY of my Apple tools for development. Ever. Even after upgrading the whole OS or the tools package. NOT EVER in 7 years. YEARS not months.
And people really have to ask why I switched to a Mac for my main box. I don’t know, maybe it is because I enjoy working with computers not fighting them. One day Microsoft may learn this lesson, but I do not hold my breath. Things are getting worse by the year not better and with Vista things are worse than I have ever seen.
I like Vista. I can’t stand the casual disregard Microsoft has shown for the people who use their products. It is really frustrating and as I have said many times before, ” Microsoft can take the wind out of anyone’s sails “.
Sigh…
