Technology Sucks

I would love to praise blogger, but I can't, as I have posted three times in the last 24 hours and it has not shown up. Not only that but last nights hyperlink did not get inputted into the page. And quite frankly I am sick of my template but I can't change it.

Why else does technology suck? Well, lets take user-friendlyness shall we?

Why is it that Microsoft can give you free lame games on you computer when you buy it, but you do not get an incorporated anti-virus? Would it not make more sense for them to include that into their products to help the computer illiterate out there? And speaking of those computer illiterate people, they obviously are not apt to understand defragmenting, disk cleanup and scan disk, and scheduling in Windows, even with the wizard, is a bitch. So why can't they make this easier for those people out there, who have a computer, but have no idea how to maintain it?

Take my Aunt for example, great woman, computer illiterate. Her computer has stopped working, and since its not new, it will have to be reformatted with Windows ME. (Does not meet XP standards by any means) Do they make this easy for her to do? No. In fact, maintaining the computer is a journey for her. And her desktop is more cluttered than a pack-rats garage so how can you expect her to find what she needs anyway.

They like to call PC's user friendly, when in all actuality, in order to keep your computer running at prime efficiency, you have to be apt to do so. Microsoft should take a step back and look at what they could improve for the average Joe, and call THAT Windows XX Home. Professional can be less dummied up.

Just my rant, based on the last 24 hours. Now lets see if it gets posted.
