Windows 7 launch day is finally here

I doubt you've used it inside and out to its full potential, too.

It should do more than turning on and running third party programs.

To be quite honest, I want my OS to stay the hell out of my way. I want to get work done without interruption or worry that the OS managing the program is unstable. I don't want to think about driver compatibility or how a program is going to run if I don't have the correct patch for the OS. So far, Windows 7 does all of the back scenes work, and that's what I like about it.

Just because you're bad at troubleshooting doesn't mean that it's a horrible OS.

You mind troubleshooting those problems for me? I dare you.

You can't. I've already done searching. The operating system is too new. Not much of the public has been building bug lists while using it for several months like me. Even if a problem is found, it's too new for a good solutions. To make matters worse, many of the search terms you could use are too broad.

Again, it's not our fault that you can find alternate solutions to the problem. How about you find research around and find an alternate program that works for whatever (useless) thing you're trying to accomplish with TV? People moan and complain when an application runs into compatibility issues instead of looking around and finding a program that actually works in the mean time.

You're complaining about minor issues that only effect a small percentage of users, and you're doing it immediately after the OS was released. Microsoft might be a large company with thousands of employees, but it takes time to fix issues.

So it's MY FUCKING PROBLEM that the "PERFECT, NEW, BETTER THAN WINDOWS VISTA" operating system can't work the way it's supposed to?


REALLY?

My gripe with this operating system is not just related to Media Center. It goes back to that other post where I mentioned all those bugs in the RTM version. I know this OS is new, but there's no reason these problems should have developed after Windows Vista (IT'S A FUCKING CLONE FOR FUCK'S SAKE) and then make it through beta, RC, and then into RTM. Perhaps it's my fault for not reporting bugs...but it's their fault for not providing any method of reporting bugs in the RC.

As for my Media Center problem, please give me some other free application which will let me watch, record, and schedule series recordings of live TV. Also, this is native to Windows. It's not a "compatibility issue" I'm having here. If it is, it's pretty fucking pathetic that Microsoft can ship Windows 7 with software that isn't compatible with itself.

A small percentage of users is millions. Even if it is just one person using a feature, they shouldn't have problems with it. It is never "OK" to let a problem go because it's not going to be as used as something else.

What I'm mainly pissed off about is how everyone talks about Windows 7 like is a god damn religion. Jesus fucking Christ people, this OS is not perfect. If you install Windows Vista today, it's much more stable and bug-free than this.

jcap, the problems seem to be all on your end, I have a buddy who uses a tv tuner card and records tv with his windows 7 machine, and myself still on build 7100 haven't had any problems.
