We have a Surface at work to interact with a certain piece of gear. This device was purchased for about 80% off because of the massive writedown Microsoft took on the things, causing them to be blown out all over. Its one function is connecting to a web page served by the device. HTML, no CSS, nothing weird.

It is, without a doubt, the worst chunk of shit I have ever been forced to interact with.

I bailed on Microsoft back in '02 or so because I was sick of fucking with IRQs and shit. My patience grows thin with OSX, especially as it merges with IOS... but holy fuck, Windows has become the most uselessly vainglorious piece of bloatware I have ever encountered, at least when it comes to touch.

"No, I wanted a desktop, not a camera."

"No, I wanted an IP address, not a Bing search for that string of four numbers that look eerily like an IP address."

"No, I want you to connect to the network, not make a network."

"No, I want the network preferences, not to... how the fuck did you open a calendar?"
