life: wtf, lappy?!
My techies tried to put windows 7 on my desktop compy when i brought it to them. One of their selling points on it was that Windows7 was just like Vista, only bug free and update-free. The hefty price-tag outweighed the fact that my compy was getting a memory-wipe anyway.
So I was absolutely tickled when the lappy on Christmas morning had a nice little Windows7 cd peeking out of the setup disks. And I do like it, it has some cool features like a changing-at-random background according to the theme you set up, (mine currently flips thru pics of Australia) and it has the dashboard like a Mac, stuff like that. The surface stuff is all I've had a chance to play with so far.
So imagine my surprise when I turned on the lappy this morning and was made to wait nearly five minutes for load up - for a compy that came in to being only back in November. As it flipped through the screens to the progress screen I noticed the reason.
It read: Update in Progress. Update 30 of 6811.
Between November 15th and December 28th there's been 6811 updates.
Bug free? Perhaps, remains to be seen.
Update free? Bull.
