I also read microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_suggestions on eternal-september because Microsoft seems unable to give the unread message count correctly for this group on msnews.microsoft.com tho' it gets the correct numbers for m.p.excel.charting, m.p.e.misc and the few others that I read. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not

It makes it easier for them to prevent information on the many examples of their total incompetence to circulate too widely. -- Brian Gregory.

From: Unknown on 9 Apr 2010 16:38 You are the one with total incompetence. If you don't believe that, write an operating system. Obviously you cannot yet you criticize MS.

I am one man it's obviously not fair to expect me to write an operating system as advanced as Windows. However I have written a very nice little multi-tasking operating system for an industrial control system a company I work for used to produce. Please tell me about the operating systems you have written. Tell me why MVPs tell me that the synchronise favourites feature of Microsoft ActiveSync has been known to have problems for ages with syncing any more than a handful of favorites and recommend I not use the feature yet the problem is still present in Mobile Device Centre on Vista. Tell me why after three XP service packs users who log in as soon as the log in screen appears on XP are still liable to find some of the icons such as 'Safely Remove Hardware' do not appear. It seems pretty damn obvious that you shouldn't let users log in until all the necessary parts of the OS are up and running but oh no. Microsoft don't design there OS they throw is together and test it only on state of the art lightening fast hardware with virtually no software installed. Tell my why those same users find Internet Explorer locks up if they start it as soon as the desktop appears rather than waiting while yet more or something starts up. Methods for synchronising processes so they can't run in the wrong order is fundamental stuff I was taught in my second year at university yet Microsoft seem to think they don't have to bother with it. -- Brian Gregory.
