The 10 Commandments for Windows Users
September 3rd, 2007 No Comments Posted in random
- Thou shalt not use the system without expecting a random reboot
make sure you back files up, nothing quite like an unexpected reboot caused by windows updates. - Thou shalt pay over the odds for semi decent software.
Windows software is extremely overpriced, especially when you could get an equivalent version free in linux. - Thou shalt ignore the community
Usually passing by on forum posts and so forth laughing at what people cant do. - Thou shalt not read documentation.
Of course, using windows means your instantly a computer/software guru and don’t need to read any of this blurb. - Thou shalt OVER use the available support system.
printer not printing? checked the paper? nope, first youll phone the support line and demand a tech come out to fix it. - Thou shalt not search.
In most cases, your question or problem has already been addressed, but your half-assed attempt to fix the solution normally involves a phone call to your “I.T Friend” and all he had to do to find the fix was 1 keyword in google.
- Thou shalt explore and delete random files.
Yes, most windows noobies do this. “oh the windows folder, don’t think i need that *delete* - Thou shalt use the password of “password”.
nothing quite like leaving your system wide open to hackers. - Thou shalt not try to recreate linux.
don’t expect your system to always respond or do what you expect, its not linux
- Thou shalt regularly give up.
if at first you don’t succeed, give up. TRY LINUX
