el_"GRUNNUR".UTF-8

FreeBSD's UTF-8 support sucks. They admitted it.

so what?
you're acting like linux/windows/macfaggotry has no faults

i wouldn't be surprised if os x has the same bug.

Who cares about chink characters anyway.

Name one, ONE fault with WINDOWS.

Yeah, who cares about those fucking Greek chinks.

constant unexplainable networking problems in Vista.
actually, that's the only thing that i have against Vista - i don't know why it gets such bad press

mn_MN.UTF-8 has the same problem.

- Explorer remembers some folder customizations and forgets others, seemingly at random.
- Why isn't ncpa.cpl in the Control Panel anymore?
- Windows Search doesn't fucking work ever ever ever.^[1]
- Brain-dead security model that nags you with two separate dialogs for every filesystem operation that requires escalation.
- UAC prompts don't tell you what the app is requesting permission to do.
- Arcane syntax for running commands as an administrative user from the command prompt.
- "This program may not have installed correctly" after the fact. Worst possible solution to the backwards-compatibility problem.

also, it breaks POSIX by varying the date at which it switches form julian to gregorian based on the locale.

1000‰ agreed. Fuck, I rage uncontrollably every time someone reminds me of how bad explorer is. I will now proceed to rant until I ｆｅｅｌ ｂｅｔｔｅｒ ：）

I had to turn off Explorer's remembering of folder views because it was so fucking irritating. (It's still irritating, and still randomly changes view for no fucking reason, but less so.)

And why the fuck does it insist on removing the useful columns I have set up and replacing them with picture shit like Dimensions, Date Taken, even though I'm in a folder full of normal files or music?
http://xs136.xs.to/xs136/09072/explorerpigdisgusting951.jpg

And wtf is with the desktop.ini files that it shits everywhere it goes?

And as >>11 said, Windows Search is useless most of the time. I gave it 2 years, and it still sucks. I turned off the Indexing service, which is a waste of CPU and starts torturing my disks every time I lock my workstation, even for 5 minutes.

And why do normal directories act retarded after I've visited certain control panels (Programs + Features, Sync Center...). I don't even know what the fuck the second one is. Never seen it before.

http://xs136.xs.to/xs136/09072/wtficons362.png

(Notice BabelMapNT in the above screenshot? I use that because character map sucks so much ass, since Microsoft pays no attention to the core utilities.)

And why the fuck does it STILL insist on spinning up my DVD drive so that it can get a fucking icon to display in the drop down of the Save As dialog? It's been doing that for every Windows OS I remember, except maybe 3.1. I now have a phobia of leaving DVDs in the drive. Fuck you, windows.

FUCK AUTORUN!

"Problem reports and solutions" crap. Just more stuff that doesn't work to turn off. Yes, I tried it for about 2 years.

What's with the shitty welcome screen? I'm using Vista business here. Just give me a proper login screen, like Windows 2000.

Programs and Features takes minutes just to list what I have installed. I know there's a ton of backward compatibility bullshit around there, but is it really so hard to speed this up?

Windows Photo Gallery, which happens to be the default image viewer, is a piece of crap. It loads far too slowly for something that is the default picture viewer. And to add insult to injury, it can't even crop PNG images.

☝ This still happens, even after Service Pack 1. Which, by the way, took longer to install than Windows itself.

Over 9000 programs still put shit in my Documents folder. I don't want it! I guess some people would call it unfair to blame this on Microsoft. I still do, partly because most of the shit in there is Office/Visual Studio's anyway.

Windows Update and Security Center are chronic naggers.

Taskbar bands suck, and don't restore themselves properly when I change screen resolution. Still only one taskbar per monitor without something like UltraMon.

Only one theme, requires bullshit to install new ones.

^{Anyway, I'll stop shitting up this FreeBSD thread.}

>☝ This still happens, even after Service Pack 1. Which, by the way, took longer to install than Windows itself.
That was actually fixed, but the fix is for vendors only. WinBeta or some similar site should be able to provide it.

constant unexplainable networking problems in Vista.
Might or might not be a driver issue. Intel finally released a driver that actually works for their wireless garbage a month ago, taking only two years to do so. That said, it's more retarded than before for sure.

>>11
Windows Search doesn't fucking work ever ever ever.
Oh, I though it was only me? Surely they wouldn't miss such a tremendous defect, right? I have to disable indexing so I can actually use search, otherwise about 20% of the files don't show up. I tried to diagnose it but no dice.

"This program may not have installed correctly" after the fact. Worst possible solution to the backwards-compatibility problem.
Oh god. "Windows has applied some compatibility settings. I won't tell you what they are, and I won't let you turn them off. Try again, good luck!"

>>15

Actually it's not, it can be done under 100ms, all the data is already under a registry key. It might need to calculate hard disk usage, but it could and should be done on the background after the list has been shown. It runs much better than XP though. Also, see: http://wistinga.online.fr/safarp/ - kinda sad if you ask me about it.

Windows Photo Gallery, which happens to be the default image viewer, is a piece of crap. It loads far too slowly for something that is the default picture viewer. And to add insult to injury, it can't even crop PNG images.
Oh, it can't show animated GIFs either. But it can show videos, as long as they are either shitty camera MJPEGs or Windows Media Video bullshit, regardless of which codecs you have installed. Remember: it's not a image viewer, it's a "digital photo" piece of shit. It's a miracle it supports PNGs to begin with. I recall MS saying that the only reason it supports GIFs is because "some users had PHOTOS in that format". Also, yay for asymmetry: open GIFs in IE but do show them when traversing the directory with WPG.

Which, by the way, took longer to install than Windows itself.
For me, initial installation was 30min, SP1 was literally over 3h. That's nothing though, before SP1 every update took tens of minutes to install. Probably more than 100h spent installing security updates in all.

Also, I agree wholeheartedly on Explorer sucking donkey balls. It's amazingly broken. I suspected it stores folder settings using some sort of hash for the folder name, and they picked up a terrible one and it's marred with collisions, but I never bothered to check. Now excuse me while I go back to rate and assign genres to my fucking executables.

Anybody has tried Windows 7? I don't really expect any fixes but it'd be nice to know beforehand it's going to be as broken.

I'd like to add to >>15 the annoying way Explorer's folders pane doesn't have a horizontal scrollbar but attempts to horizontally scroll for you. It's frustrating.

>>17

It's in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags. It's horrible! It actually forgets old view settings after a while, since there's a limited number.

The registry modifications at the end of this post make it use Details View all the time. It's not ideal, since it resets to Details View even when you navigate into subfolders, which can be irritating. Also, column sizes revert every time too. (Also, I'm fairly sure I've still had the wrong columns show up from time to time, but that may be desktop.ini shit.)

Supposedly XdN Tweaker will perform this modification too. Seems OK.
