For The Record
August 29th, 2007I just want to point out that Windows Explorer, the basic file manager/shell programme which forms an integral part of Windows XP has managed to crash on me for the fourth time today. It is not even ten past twelve yet, and I’m not doing anything complicated with it. I can’t even think of anything complicated one could conceivably do with it..
I cannot even begin to fathom the institutional incompetence that would be required for one of the world’s richest companies to be able to produce such shitty software. It beggars belief, really it does.
Damn, I wish I could use Linux at work.

Do you use Linux at home?

Oddly enough, I did try Ubuntu and my computer wouldn’t accept it. Just wouldn’t boot. I might try some other version, but equally I might not. I could treble performance just by uninstalling stuff anyway.
Equally, Windows works better on my home PC, and runs my small collection of games. I can’t win.

It could be a 3rd party shell extension causing the problem. I’ve seen issues with Norton and with a unzip utility, for instance.
