maybe you should turn the mirror on yourself. maybe you're the one you hate.

Wow. A minute ago, I returned to OS X from the Windows partition on my MacBook after an amazingly frustrating adventure in SharePoint customization, muttering the exact same sentiment as the title of this thread. I can always trust QBN to provide me some quiet solace...

You need to let off some steam.

Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you word, powerpoint and every other fucking cobbled together piece of shit that ms vomits into my life. Fuck you very much.

You're all bitter mac users who obviously have switched to a PC because someone asked you do some real work for a change.
I just switched to a mac and spent the entire of yesterday trying to hide the fucking phantom display that this macbook shite is convinced exists. I failed.
Also trying to ascertain why out of all the other computers on the wireless network, the macbook shite only lets me connect to random websites of it's choosing. I failed.
These things are utter bunk. Fucking useless aside from fucking itunes which is the only thing that JUST WORKS.
- I want my PC back. I don't care that it looks like shit, it doesn't act like a shit.moth
- god its like watching someones dad stumble around a computerfiesta
- those issues are not mac related. it's the user's fucking retarded faultmonospaced
- haha moth, you re-re. sounds like user error to me.dMullins
- Mono, you don't think this Word issue is a user issue?404NotFound

Im am a bitter mac user, not because I switched to a PC, just because Im pretty much a bitter person. However, my ire is directed towards ms because Im trying to format some piece of shit template and whenever I make a fucking change it gets rid of all my fucking formatting.
I think I may have also broken my 'g' key.
- why not give the job to someone who knows what they're doing?hans_glib

Frankly, if you're having to use Office, you need a better job.
- Oh right. Cuz most of the business world doesn't use it. For fucks sakes.404NotFound

And another thing. Im pretty fucking sick of this 'Macs just work' bullshit, they fucking don't. Its a goddamn advertising myth that apple has perpetuated. They might be easier to use and set up for those familiar with the mac os, on the other hand people familiar with pcs may find whatever os they use to be easier to use.
- macs do work. ms office is the problemhans_glib
- macs do not just work.moth
- ok i liedhans_glib
- nope...nope...I'm pretty sure my macs have always just worked..yep just workedrusty_ace

for shitehawk: I was sent this email the other day... maybe she can help?
"I am constantly being requested by design agencies to create Microsoft Word documents from Mac or PC designed artwork files that can then be accessed and amended by their client or themselves.
I can exactly reproduce your Quark, InDesign and Illustrator files to PC Word docs. The revised information can then be dropped back into your design package ready for the final layout or as a Word Template ready to supply to your client. Alternatively, you may want to standardize all of your in-house documents, such as invoices or purchase orders, to templates ensuring continuity of style.
My hours are flexible and my rates reasonable and I would very much like to speak with you, and hope that this could be of service to you.
Samples of my work can be provided and references from satisfied clients given.
With kind regards,
Christine

Here's my bug;
http://discussions.apple.com/thr…How can something as low level as this not be fixed in 3 years of development?

PC's work if you know how to use them, but microsoft dont make it easy. And they dont listen to gripes. Now fair enough if the developers have been doing this for years but your set in your ways MS! a rolling stone gathers no moss!
- a rolling stone doesn't get any work done either.moth
- probably no reference to the thread....Stugoo
- a rolling stone does seem to live off alcohol and drugs though. Resilient fucker.shitehawke
- sometimes its time to roll sometimes its time to stayStugoo
- "PC's work if you know how to use them". Same can be said for Mac.404NotFound

linux is finally here to rescue us.
Open Office works....
the system rarely crashes.... it at all.
and the UI is up to you, you have the ultimate amount of control.
now if Adobe would pony up and release linux versions of the CS suite the world of MS VS. Apple could have a new contender
