The answer is pretty simple. Cause they were made to be sold, no as a primary platform a human person can keep, work, use it for a long time. This is economy in fact, progress. But how would you call it “progress” when even the developer tools are bugged no matter what service packs they produces released.
Let me be straigth. I was working in the past days to GPS server platform (a new one). Project went perfectlly till about 80% when taaa-daaa blue screen. I was like WTF !!! “Windows fucked me again !”. I restart, after a long period of waiting to load i can log in. “Wonderfully !”, i said. I open Visual Studio ’08 and trying to load project so i can finish my work. Again blue screen ! I follow same shitty restart steps and again, i open VS08. I open another project. Works !!! I try to open my project, blue screen.
Went outside smoking and trying to think what options i got. Ummm…only one: reinstall OS, VS08. Bad stuff is that i got like 30GB of pictures on my main drive. The second one is also full with movies i took in my holidays. Lazy to burn them down(You should imagine that). Suddenly, an ideea. What if…(this is how all good things start, isn’t it ?) i create a new project, i copy/paste the code and after i remake the design. Would take me less time !! Did that, works now !
Now, this was just a story of what happend and how i manage it. But after, i search on Google for the error i used to get when blue screen. Simple explanation from Micro$oft: “Windows or Memory problem.” that made me be like O_O. WTF !! can’t be memory, but let me test it. I put memory on another PC, worked like a charm. No problem at all. Put it back, reinstalled Win, VS08, .NET Framework. Open project…guess…blue screen.
Uninstalled .NET Framework, open project, no error but this doesn’t help me at all. What might be ? For shure not what the Micro$oft guyz are saying.
