Win95 to Vista destroyed our logic of solving software problems
You're viewing a single thread.
One of the things I noticed when I first switched, was the difference of advice on forums. Linux users would ask for reports and pinpoint errors giving a fix. Windows forums would be wild random often unrelated guesses ultimately leading to "just reformat".
Until you find the answer on a Windows forum posted by some Indian dude performing unpaid labor.
Or the "don't worry I fixed it" one time poster
"Just Google it," they said. So, you Google it. You find one result. It's a forum post. From you.
I'd like to make a law that anyone who says "just google it" and doesn't also provide the very first link they found on google that solves the problem should be castrated.
There's a special place in hell for those people.
