Just
horrible
.
When
start
ing a
service
in
NT
, a "
progress indicator
"
appear
s,
except
this one's a little bit
diff'rent
than what you're
used
to.
Oh yes,
Micros~1
here
decide
s to
abandon
the
wide
ly accepted
notion
of
linear time
in
favour
of a
cycle
. This
indica
tor is not a
line
, it's a
clock
. This clock has no
number
s. This clock has
one
hand
. That hand
spin
s
around
and a
round
until
the service has started.
I
mean
, they're
ask
ing
for
ridicule
.
First
of all, this "
indicator
"
clear
ly shows that your
fluffy
MS
OS
actual
ly has
no fucking idea
when it's going to be
done
.. the clock means
nothing
, it just
keep
s your
eyeball
s
active
so you don't
fall
a
sleep
while you're
wait
ing for the
god damn
thing to finish.
Second
of all, while starting
Exchange
yesterday
, the
system
halt
ed but the clock
kept on going!
I mean,
Micro$oft
's little indicator was
literal
ly just
tick
ing on and on,
forever
.
..and it's
so
condescend
ing too.
