Why Microsoft Window gets in the way, why it sucks.

Example #1: I want to go home for the night so I right click CLOSE on the group of Notepads I have open, as well as paintbrush, etc. Windows just blinks the icon in the tray. Nothing else. WTF? How lame. I have to then go to each and every instance of Notepad and Paintbrush I have open and pull up the "SAVE?" option. But can I see what I am saying Yes or No to? Of course not, who in their right mind would want to be able to SEE what they are selecting to save or discard. I have to cancel out of every single one of them and then pull them up. This means that to close down I have to spend a lot of time saying YES I AM SURE I WANT TO CLOSE DOWN! If I have a lot of notepad and paintbrush scratch pads up, it can take 10 minutes just to close them all.

Example #2: Program blows up. Dr Watson fires off. Locks up the program for 10 minutes. Dr Watson locks up in doing dumprep, launches anothe Dr Watson and performs a dump prep of the first Dr. Watson. This goes on until the NIC become unresponsive and the PC drops off the network.

WTF? How can an OS be so lame? Switch to Mac software writers. Those of us in the enterprise are ready to ditch Windows XP, Vista, and 7 for OS X. We want your software to work on OS X. Just look at the Apple Stores!
