The first step is admitting you have a problem
I got a new desktop PC at work last week. It runs Windows Vista. I'm still getting accustomed to the quite different UI but so far I think I like it. It's been really stable. I've only ever turned it off by choice.
But when I booted it up this morning, I was immediately greeted by the message
"Follow these steps to solve the problem with Windows Vista!"
Ummmm... the problem? What problem? I didn't know there was a problem. There were no signs. At least I don't think there were. Was I not paying enough attention? Should I have caught the warning signs sooner? But wait... Is it really a problem I really want to know about? I mean, we're still virtually strangers to one another. I'm not sure I am comfortable being my PC's confidant.
Being the girl scout that I am, I of course clicked "ok" and downloaded and installed an update that claims to "improves the compatibility, reliability, and stability of Windows Vista". Sweet. Not that I had been having any such issues, but preventative medicine isn't a bad thing. I'm thinking of this upgrade as extra-strength Zoloft for my PC.
Speaking of which, I need to refill my own perscription. Because if my PC does implode I'm much more likely to handle it calmly under medication.
