There are many reasons to hate Windows. But this one was new to me:
I have been issued with an unlovely Dell running Windows for teletubbies.
I plugged a USB mouse in with one hand, while still using the machine
with
the other.
A little speech-bubble like thing pops up saying "Windows has detected
a new
human-computer interface device"
And then the fucking thing hung for 5 seconds. Presumably while it found
drivers. It's only a mouse, dammit. Haven't you seen a mouse before?
Might
a USB mouse be a fairly standard thing?
If you plug a mouse into a Mac, it just keeps working.
Presumably teletubbies can only do one thing at a time, so Windows is
built
down to that level.
Oh, and every time I plug or unplug the mouse Windows make stupid
noises at
me. Yes, yes, the machine has a sound card. Do you need to keep
reminding me?
Just shut the fuck up and be useful. Which is probably too much to
ask. :-(

Me, I hate top-posting.
