disappointment

I have been long customer with Microsoft and have always favored your products. I had a Microsoft Kin phone up until I bought a Windows Smart phone. I stayed with Windows Phone until I was forced to switch to Android when Microsoft ceased to support Windows Phone. I was sad to see it go. When I...

Here's a story for ya. Yesterday I decided to give Windows 10 a shot because of what all my friends were saying. "OHHH ITS AMAZEBALLZ" "SOOOOOO AWSM" and such. The upgrade took a few hours but was well worth it. The programmes were exactly where I left them along with everything else. The new...

Well, after running Windows XP for quite some time, I knew it was time to upgrade. The hardware was 64 bit, Windows XP had a hard time keeping up with new technology, then Microsoft and Google dumped support for it, so kicking and screaming, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Although...

I've been using my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 as my primary device in recent months as opposed to my desktop As I am trying to embrace the mobile age and one of the things that I'm a little bit disappointed in is that a lot of its office apps are not too good with a lot of catches like subscriptions...

HI I just want to say how disappointed I was with Windows 8.1. after a few weeks I. have removed it and gone back to windows 7. One thing I noticed after using cloud and getting a Microsoft account, the amount of junk email that I got almost trebled over night and even having gone back to 7 it...

Just picked up my new laptop.. has win 8 installed (had no choice of op system) ... why is it like a tablet design? I have a tablet already.. I just want a basic computer for my photoshop/office programs * There is no start button unless you download a start button program from another resource...

Link Removed Windows 8 — Disappointing Usability for Both Novice & Power Users (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

Uncertainty could turn Windows 8 into the next Vista Sales of Windows 8 PCs are well below Microsoft’s internal projections and have been described inside the company as disappointing. But here’s the catch: The software giant blames the slow start on lackluster PC maker designs and...

I just gotta post about this, because what a dumb thing to wreck the basic search functionality on computers we paid a lot of money for. Dedicated PC user for forever - yet - I am seriously thinking I have got to bite the bullet for a mac next time which ticks me off but this is ridiculous...

London Olympic organisers were left red-faced on Tuesday when a huge clock in Trafalgar Square marking the countdown to the 2012 Games stopped just hours after being unveiled at a glitzy ceremony. The steel digital clock measuring 6.5 metres tall and five metres long froze with 500 days, 7...

When I pulled up Battlestar Galactic Online, I was expecting an RPG or adventure game which would explore and deepen the mythology of the Battlestar Galactica universe. I was understandably disappointed to find a dogfighting game which is not really worth the cost of admission. 

The game is...

Like countless others I've have the dreaded "nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding and has recovered" error. Whilst I dont consider myself a hardcore gamer I got this computer/graphics card so I could game with high quality details. So far I've use it to play solitaire and use the internet - the...

Just did a comparison with my Acer 1,7 mhz dual processor 3 gb; OS Ubuntu 9 and my brand new HP dv6 2,3 mhz AMD turion dual processor and 6 gb; OS 64 bit Win7; From boot to 'on the web' (64 bit IE with the HP and Firefox with the Acer) is my windows 7 system no less than 30 seconds SLOWER than...

Has anyone else received this Email today, from Microsoft support. I was urged into emailing a complaint to them. What a terrible waste of space !!! One of the biggest linked articles refers mainly to Vista, and is a blatant advert for the "Official" windows magazine. Another, teribly out of...

I am really hating Win7 right about now... Here's a regular daily duty for me. I put a camera CF card into a USB reader and put it into the USB slot. I then create folders on a hard drive for each day of photos that was on the CF card, and I drag all the Monday stuff from the CF into a Monday...

Hi there, I purchased Windows 7 home upgrade version on advice from a sales rep. I had been using windows Vista Home premium so I was advised the Home upgrade copy of W7 would be all I needed. Upon purchasing and installing the upgrade, I later realized I could no longer perform backups to a...

I have given windows 7 the true benefit of the doubt but as of now I will be going back to XP. I have been running RC build 7100 for about a 6 weeks now and tough I like the look of it the feel is just not there. I want to be able to configure my OS to act the way I want it to. I don't see why...

Hi all I'm REALLY disappointed with the W7 Realtek HD audio driver (V 2.33) as you can't control the equalisation any more. There's a load of "Canned presets" which I don't really like but no way to use a custom equalisation scheme like there was in XP. Seems to me a retrograde step -- the...

Don't know if anyone posted this already BUT it deserves multiple posts. If u go to the now SLIGHTLY useful new feature of libraries and search for a file with Windoz Explorer u won't find anything. WE search can't search the libraries. U MUST go the the folder location/drive/whatever and...
