Why windows why??

Why Windows Why??
"If you don't want to read about me slagging off on windows then don't read this because I am going on a rant.
Rant mode on.
Climb on soap box.
Turn on megaphone.
Take a deep breath.
Why does windows make it so difficult to transfer settings? Why does windows go out of its way to be incompatible with itself? Why is windows purposely designed to make our lives a nightmare? Why can't I take a windows hard disk out of one machine and put it in another and have it work? Why can't I use windows own files and settings transfer wizard to transfer accounts from one computer to another without it wanting the original cd or a bunch of floppies for the wizard program? Why has not microsoft fixed up these problems since the days of dos? Why does microsoft go on about windows compatibility when its own programs fail? Why windows why?
Several scenarios. Persons hardware needs to be upgraded. Simple right? Take the guys hard disk, shove it in the new box and re-register (why do we always have to register windows why?). Of course we will have to load up new drivers and reboot a few times but it's windows right? No go Joe! The fscking thing won't even boot up!!! I cant even get into safe mode. Ok, time for plan B. We use the files and settings transfer wizard to back up the guys account. Format and re-install windows. Load all the drivers, update to the latest versions (same as the guys original windows), reboot umpteen dozen times and then. To add icing on top of the cake. When we go to use the files and settings transfer wizard it requires the windows cd (service pack one of all things) to enable us to load the guys account up again. Total time taken one whole day!!! For a single computer! One of the simplest things in our job and windows makes it difficult. Even when we do the proper procedures. Now for the GNU/Linux scenario.
The hardware needs to be upgraded. The hard disk is taken out and put in the new machine. GNU/Linux boots right up. The network card doesn't work. The network card is configured and the machine is put into service. Total time taken. One single hour. Everything works, no new programs needed to be loaded, no drivers needed to be installed, no original cd was needed. Just a small change in a two text files, the second of which may not even be needed and the machine is back into production. We are talking about a major hardware change here too.
Another scenario. Server hard disk needs to be upgraded. Its a GNU/Linux machine. We put both disks in the machine. Boot off of a live cd. Copy the contents of the old hard disk to the new one. Set up the grub boot manager. Take out the old hard disk and boot the server. Everything comes up and the machine is put into production. Total time taken two hours. Most of that was waiting for the files to copy.

Hi! I'm a BSD, GNU/Linux, Mac and WinedozeXP user.
Never touched Vista and probably never will.
Bashing Vista is like bashing Bush.
Cool trends for now.
Gamers will be first to jump on using Vista for new games.
Few years from now, there will be Vista Service Pack 2.
It's going to be the next standard Winedoze.
New cool shiny things will need that to work perfectly.
New cool shiny gadgets and new cool shiny software.
Slowly everyone will move to the new standard, as we moved to the XPSP2 standard.
Then people will start telling you to get over it (the facts on Vista), since Vista is out for years so they want you to move on and forget all that happened.
The future is gonna be fun :)

Vista: So Beautiful, So Disturbing
A poetic take on Winedoze Vista in the way of fictional story with a bit of geeky erotica and poetic look, focusing on the morning after the first night. So unless you call your machine sexy [enter name of puter here] or something, you might be better off not reading this :)
Note: Somebody found this good enough so stole it. The link above is original post. Stealers are not worth linking.
