Microsoft is great as long as you don’t use it too much. a process crashes and the dll’s it’s using stay running sitting there half baked, they are difficult to replace without rebooting. Two releases that use different versions of the same dll can’t tell they are using an incompatible version and the application will crash unexpectedly.
And the updates oh my word, take for ever or hang when you try to power your system down.
And the worst were those docking stations. ha ha ha ha ha. Every time i moved my laptop back to a docking station it would freeze...
I would have to take the battery out to get it started again.. ha ha ha ha....
That will only happen if the app developer is sloppy. Version-checking is standard procedure when using third-party components.
