For the love of god.

I think very highly of Microsoft as a company. I really do - I try really, really hard to defend them against the onslaught of angry linux and mac geeks who on the daily chip away at the fabric of the M$ empire.

But for fucks sake guys, you're not making it any easier for me.

Here is why the majority of the civilized world loves (catch that sarcasm?) Microsoft so much. You realize at about 11pm that your IE doesn't work on your laptop just a few hours before what could amount to be a make or break demo for your company.

Oddly enough firefox works. Now normally you would just use Chrome - and have IE and FireFox take a hike because Chrome is just so god damn awesome.

But for now, using Firefox you go to support.microsoft.com and they tell you to fix IE, visit to update.microsoft.com. Heh, but you know how this is going to end, because you've been around the block a few times.

You go to update.microsoft.com and it says that you need IE to view this site.


Yea. Not making it easy.

Not at all.


Update: For those of you who keep telling me to use the Firefox plugin - I don't use firefox. Firefox is a memory pig that blows up to 1gig of ram with more frequency then I got an erection over Jody Martin in 8th grade. So save it.
