I have had enough of WINDOWS. I am tired of getting sucked into hours and hours of troubleshooting with Microsoft, the geek squad best buy and AT&T’s help desk. What prompted this post today? Hmmmm…
Well lets see my alarm on my phone (an AT&T Tilt 2 – I actually paid for this phone) went off again at 5 AM. I have never set my alarm for 5 AM… trust me no one wants to see me at 5 AM – I am a beast in the morning. My phone which is windows based (im on my second one in 6 months, btw) is always freezing up, changing settings, running programs I didnt open and even with extra memory is the slowest thing ever. I cant even download cool apps like my iPhone friends because that makes my phone even slower. I cant delete anything because “its all part of the operating system”. I’m sorry I hardly think that Diner Dash 2 (im devastated I missed out on diner dash 1) and Astraware Sodoku (is that even english) are necessary to keep my phone running properly.
I am not a technical person. I dont know any better until I spend hours figuring it out myself or until I hear the real truth from someone who is truly technical. No one can even troubleshoot my phone properly – after two hours on the phone with some kid at the At&T help desk the best solution he could come up with was telling me to go outside and walk down the street until I am in range of a different phone tower. After 9PM night. In bed-stuy Brooklyn. I’m sorry but basically everything is closed after 9PM and I don’t need to be roaming the streets in the dark looking for a phone tower. Great Job training that dude, AT&T.
So after personally visiting the AT&T store and then being sent to the AT&T warranty center (which used to be this great discount store next to Jacks 99 Cent World – Yes Edith its true) I left with no solution…. they are sending me another phone. All my settings and contacts will be gone because the WINDOWS Version on my phone isn’t compatible with the Windows 7 that is on my laptop.
Are you fucking serious? What kind of Microsoft la la land am I being FORCED to live in. I dont recall signing a lease…. I want out.
My laptop has windows 7 and my experience with the laptop has not been as miserable as my experience with my HTC Tilt 2 phone. However, the longer I have this computer the more issues I have. No, I dont want to automatically open Windows Media CENTER (not player) when I log on. Thanks for taking it upon yourself to add my photos into a slide show for me on media center – I love when I see a naked photo of myself scroll by that I know isnt even saved in my “photo library”.
I promptly deleted this Windows Media Center and right after I did I started having problems. This time I went into a local Best Buy store and took it to the Geek Squad (a service that we paid EXTRA for) so they could look at it in person and I could avoid any situation that might be similar to my AT&T experience. I was wrong… I just ended up embarrassing myself in public by yelling at the girl who turned my computer on and pressed a button and then concluded that I destroyed my entire operating system because I uninstalled Windows Media Center. She couldnt find the program anywhere because I totally deleted it and I was not supposed to do that. I was told to go home and call Toshiba and request to be sent recovery disks and then back up my computer onto a hard drive then wipe everything off the computer and start all over again.
Oh really… thanks for your help, Jazmin. Too bad I went home and clicked on “computer” and then “program files” and guess what I found – yes, it was the oh so hard to find “windows media center”. All I had to do was restore this program… after doing this something was still wrong and after complaining to my friend Josh he told me all I had to do was restore my computer to a day that I know my computer settings were working properly… That literally took 5 min. Thank you Josh, and your technical brother. The thing that irritates me about this the most is that Jazmin has a job (and clearly she sucks) and I don’t…
My main complaint is why is it necessary to overload me with programs and redundant menus and options? Why cant I pick and choose what I want on MY PHONE and MY LAPTOP? Why is every fucking think linked to Facebook? Why cant I remove programs I will never use that take up space on my devices? I know they all are not part of the operating system? Why does windows save your documents in the “documents” folder and “my documents”? I dont need to save my stuff in TWO LOCATIONS on my laptop. WHY WHY WHY is that necessary. When I finally deleted one of the locations after hours of reading on microsoft help online for what seemed like forever about why that it is set up like that I STILL dont understand.
I think Microsoft is insulting my intelligence and I dont appreciate it one bit. Well, finally it returned – my angst and hate of anything corporate America. Thanks Microsoft, AT& T, Best Buy and The Geek Squad for reminding me how much I hate corporate greed and the Big Fat White Corporate Jack Asses that you are forced to work for.
If Windows 7 didnt suck then why would they choose to have a marketing campaign with regular people in their commercials taking credit for Windows 7 being their idea? If I meet anyone who claims that windows anything was their idea I will hit them with my latptop bag, kidnap them and force them to listen to MY list of issues I have with Microsoft related programs until shit changes… I dont wish that on my worst enemy. He he.
