You've finally worked around our shitty interface to the point where its useable? Well here's a new one that's worse than before for you to try navigate for a while. Worst ones: 1) The newer Excel versions that treat a zoom in/out as something for the 'undo' list. Whoever came up with that one deserves very, very bad things. 2) the order of copy/paste/cut changing depending on circumstances. Not Microsoft, but the latest one doing my nut in on Chrome is the extra step for 'find in page'. Edited June 22 by Hedgecutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was the second to last version of Windows that was basically just a GUI plonked on top of DOS, the last being the forgettable Windows ME. Ever since then we’ve been running the abomination that is a GUI on top of Windows NT X.x. DOS 5.0 was excellent, although Windows for Workgroups 3.11 was pretty solid. Since then it’s been a downward spiral, because the third party GUI’s had innovation and functionality at their heart…and Microsoft stepped in and crushed them, effectively freezing development of GUI’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I fucking hate Airports, full of c***s not aware of their surroundings just stopping everywhere, get the f**k out the way and don't stop in the middle of a main walkway, come back in half an hour and this could be moved to the heads gone thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
