This supposed “upgrade” is about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine. It has literally taken over my machine, dictating what websites I can access or not, and many of these webs are ones I use in connection with my business–including my business stats. For example, if IE9 doesn’t like a website it simply shuts down, and then to add insult to injury it pops up with a message to say, “Internet Explorer has shut down.” No kidding! The other annoying quirk it has is to shut down in the middle of a cruicial function–like uploading files to my publisher.
Moreover, there is no way you can turn its so-called DEP (“Damage Protection”) off. Nor is there any way of contacting Microsoft about anything outside its own parameters–which do not include complaints of any kind. In fact, trying to contact Microsoft is like trying to e-mail the Queen or Barrack Obama, directly.
So it’s off to the IT guy to get rid of this accursed program–at my own expense of coursse–while Bill gates, behind his walled fortress, laughs all the way to the bank! May his name go down in infamy!
Addendum
While trying to post this blog, Microsoft arbitrary shut down. Is Big Brother watching?…
