I'm thinking Microsoft is in violation of the americans with disabilities act
Everything I've done to my poor netbook to date has accomplished exactly what it claimed to do - the "mouse keys" on my touchpad are now as insensitive and hard to use as ... well, as my hands when the paraesthesia flares up. Unfortunately, while I'm hitting the buttons multiple times trying to get them to notice my efforts, the touchpad is just as merrily activating at the touch of the wind over the keyboard.
People have been trying to "fix" this since 2010. All of the suggestions to date are the same - desensitize the buttons. Four years. No real change.
My local tech support has no clue of what issue I am complaining. His solution is that I hold my hands up high enough to not accidentally touch the pad while typing. He's young and his hands, arms and shoulders work perfectly.
Four years. And the issue still exists. It seems to affect older people, those with hand mobility issues, with pain issues. It affects people who think words are more that L33t or tweet or whatever the hell is that they call the shorthand code that has replaced English in on-line communications.
I already resent Microsoft ... the word I want isn't forcing - extorting. Yes that's it. I resent Microsoft's extortion racket regarding Windows XP; by threatening to leave it vulnerable to hackers, they forced us to pay them protection money in the form of the purchase of Windows 7. But unlike XP, 7 sucks. And they're not bothering to fix the problems - probably because they want to force us to buy another crap system.
I've spent most of the past couple of days off the computer because ... my netbook doesn't work any more. It's a pain and frustrating and I think that Microsoft should be sued to either continuing to support XP or fix 7 properly.
