Oh Vista

It's now official: I HATE Windows Vista with so much passion!!!!! I HATE Microsoft for releasing this crap to make money. The operating system on my new Dell notebook computer crashed just 30 min before I was about to go to bed , and I got a variant of the blue-death screen last night. I spent an hour or two to try System Restore, but I couldn't get it to fix the problem. The Windows could not even start.

It really sucked because I finished a draft of my thesis chapter yesterday on the computer. So you can kind of imagine what kind of stress I was under.

Fortunately, I was able to retrieve the files I wanted by using the command prompt. Thank God, I remembered some of the key MS-DOS commands to get those files I wanted! Well, I learned 'xcopy' command and the use of "" for directories with spaces.

Maybe it's time for me to migrate to Mac, though I highly doubt it will happen in the near future. I'm sure Bill Gates is a good person, but his business strategists are bunch of greedy [censored]!!! Wait, is Bill Gates still CEO of Microsoft?
