Operating system problems really only began when the grubbermint
busted up MS, since then nothing is compatable without work-arounds,
fixes that fix nothing but cause more breakage, and tossing perfectly
good hardware in the shitcan.... my perfectly good 3 month old
bluetooth keyboard n' mouse can't be made to work with Windows 7...
Bluetooth refuses to follow Windows protocols, I'll never buy
Bluetooth products again, it's garbage, even goes through batteries
like they're tic tacs... and Bluetooth offers zero customer service.
Bluetooth doesn't even adhere to their own protocols, that's how I
came to have a replacement 3 months ago for the four year old one I
was using, it suddenly stopped working because they made a big change
to their wireless transmission protocol and told no one it was coming
until after the fact... I wasted three days pulling my hair out
updating drivers, running repair programs, etc. thinking my PC died,
until finally a Dell techie phoned Bluetooth and techie to techie on a
three way call with me listening got Bluetooth to cough up the
problem. I was still under warranty so Dell got me a new Bluetooth
keyboard and now that's the one that can't be made to work with
Windows 7. I ended up buying a new HP Wireless Elite, but after I got
it I decided I'm sending it back, it's too small and the key
arrangement sucks. Computers are atiquated, nothing ever works well,
if it's not hardware it's software, if not those it's connectivity
issues... why can't PCs be like other electronics, I plugged in my new
Vizio TV four years ago and never needed to call a techie, it works
flawlessly all on its own. There is definitely something very wrong
with the personal computer industry, there are no standards and
there's zero consumer protection.
