My windows “start” menu takes at least a full minute to open. Then, when I select, say, Control Panel, it takes another full minute (it opens quickly but is initially blank). I’m not a programmer or even smart, but isn’t that absolute shit? I’ve used Commodores, Apple II, Macs, 386, 486, have used windows since first job (I don’t remember my first Windows version, but it played Tetris in color. Three? haha 3) Menus have always worked before. My next laptop will be linux Mint because I like mint ice cream. Does it have menus that open? I am super excited. I apologize but it made me really mad and now i feel better.

Win 98 was the last good one. Easy network setup, no spaghetti settings. And he’s correct; installing and removing software via the software tab was comfortable and polluting it with random sub packages is killing its use. But this shows, there was no canonical way to publish software. A manager oversight from bill himself at the time probably. Plus this makes me wonder if he was using a different system normally or was not a power user. Also lol bro owning means you pass the issue to your team and rake in the promotion when they fixed it.

The silver lining was that Bill never had to experience movie maker. That would’ve been a whole extra email.

Delightful, truly. Although I think it may be triggering some past trauma lol
