Just how bad Microsoft are

By Rhys George · June 29, 2005 ·

I was importing some music into Winamp, that I’d ripped using Windows Media Player, but when I tried to play a song, Internet Explorer (ugh!) popped up with the Microsoft Website on it - ahhhhh!!! This kept on going until 31 windows were open like that telling me about the DRM and how it was going to spoil my day. This is amusing; the computer crashed straight after I had managed to close all the IE windows! I can’t wait until I get linux it will be so much better. Here is a screenshot of all the IE windows at once displaying the WinMedia DRM alert page.

Je deteste winamp!
Ok, not Microsoft’s fault, they didn’t put it there. Also, I though you said you would change to IE7 when it came out, but you said “IE, ugh!”

Microsoft intend to launch Windows Mobile 5. Apparently it will be better than whatever the current version is. But does any sane person really care? Doubtlessly it will sell brilliantly, but all this is meaningless and insignificant.
