WizYo Sytes Net: Why does Microsoft make it so darn difficult to configure a simple PC?

What a great place to share :) Here you will find flashes of brilliance caught for all the world to enjoy. .. Actually, these are brief articles describing how I fixed a problem. Every day, I find information online that helps me solve a mystery. So this is me giving back to the community. Thanks for stopping by.. and don't forget to tell your friends!

Why does Microsoft make it so darn difficult to configure a simple PC?

I mean really, we have been playing this game for a good 20+ years and the stupid software still won't load properly. And can someone explain to me why versions have to change so often and why interfaces have to play musical chairs? No one of any importance likes change. Anyone who asks for the "latest" version of anything should simply be deported.

Here I am trying to install Microsoft Office 2013. After three failed "simple" installs, I have finally opted for downloading the "ISO" CD image. Even though it shows up as an "IMG" file, it still works the same. Just be careful and don't accidentally click the virtual CD drive a second time. Ouch! No repair available seems to work.

Now we're in the process of uninstalling this beast. Poor little Word and Excel won't open, and Internet Explorer just opens up a blank page because the goofy Office software has it locked up.

Not suprising that Google Chrome works just fine. It sure is nice to have a piece of software that just does what it's supposed to do without being morphed into the collective pudding of software purgatory.

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to
know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice
from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
