Stupid new Windows Media Player. Would it have killed the makers to add in the old "add to library" right click feature? Sweet goddesses, how am I meant to put things in?

Stupid. Frakking. "New and Improved". Bloody. Useless. Unhelpful. Vista.



): I want my old laptop back.



ETA: No, really. Where the £%_* are my files, Media Player? Why can't you just show me "All music" in the library? Why don't you have that wonderful dropdown option in the "Now playing" bit where I used to be able to switch between any artist or album or ALL MUSIC or whatever? In what way are you an advanced model of the one I used to have? In every way possible, you are inferior, and oh so incredibly £$**ing annoying.

Repairing the other laptop is getting better and better value for money the more this one annoys me. I've never been reduced to tears of fury by Windows before. Well done, Microsoft. Well done indeed.



ETA: *insert copious amounts of swearing here* IhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIahateit. And it won't even let me download an older version of media player and go back to that, because "there is a newer version currently installed on your computer" and oh my god, nobody could *possibly* prefer something that was made more than a year ago! Because it's New And Improved! Have What We Tell You To Have! Don't Choose For Yourself! You Know Nothing, Foolish Consumer! Obey! Upgrade!

DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!


*kills small fluffy animals*

Jack and Iantobear are no longer safe.

You may not be able to get it but most vendors allow you to roll back to XP. It might be worth checking.

Time for Linux? ;)

I don't think I can with this laptop, since it's so new and shiny. It'll only have had Vista on it, ever, and you know how clingy Microsoft make their software...

Thing is, I still find Windows easiest to use, because I know it so well. As you may have noticed, I'm extremely resistant to change... ^_^'

It may be worth checking out. What's the worst? They say, "no." There's been a LOT of people that hated Vista and went back to XP. Large corporations in The Colonies didn't upgrade to Vista. Seriously, please, check it out while you can. They may not want to do it but they may have to. :)

It wasn't easy to us at first was it? ;) You? Resist change? Arrest maybe but not change!

^_^' I'll look into it. Cautiously.

And yea, it was quite easy to use at first. Windows 95, bless it, and me ten years old or so. I got the hang of it... (:

Meeh. I like things to stop when I have them the way I like them... I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way.

Good for you. It may be too late but, it may not be. Going back to XP would undo some of the "change" for you. ;)

Linux is like that now, you just have to have the right distribution. MacOS isn't that bad but, it does take some getting used.

The only thing constant is change.

Dang. I was counting on death and taxes... :P

[tripartite.livejournal.com]

Death is only certain to happen, usually not when or where. Taxes? Eh, they can be avoided at a cost or completely if you live somewhere they don't tax.
