Business Runs on Windows |
Posted by Terry Howard @ 8/17/2006 
"The request to end the selected 16 bit task has timed out. The Win 16 Subsystem may be unstable. Press OK to terminate the Win 16 Subsystem or cancel to leave it running."
What? First of all, I don't recall turning on some developer mode, so the 99.9% of the public who might get this message have no clue what this would be talking about. And further, why would they feel comfortable making a seemingly big decision like "terminating the Win 16 Subsystem"? And this is not a new thing. Just last week I had some kind of freeze up that the only way out was to literally pull the physical plug from the wall. Apps crash and the whole thing goes down at least once a week if I'm lucky. And the messages I get are always confusing at best or totally contradicting at worst. I've even gotten error message that don't even use clear grammar or proper spelling. Does anyone at Microsoft QC this crap?
I've got a Mac at home, have for about 10 years now. OS X is lightyears ahead of anything Microsoft has out and will have out and it's just a shame most people don't realize the Windows they use and tie themselves to is utter crap and is costing them tons of time in maintenance and reboots. Let me put it to you this way. My Mac has been on for over a year now. I restart it when I update the system once in a blue moon but that's when I tell it to restart. I don't have system wide crashes or vague confusing error messages. The thing just works. When I say it has been on, I mean up, running, not sleeping, just cranking away doing all kinds of things. And it works as fast if not faster than my newish HP with multi gig speed processor. My Mac is over 6 years old and has a half of a gig!
Seriously, if you are one of those Businesses have to run on Windows sheep, just give a Mac a try for a bit. All the software is there (a better software) and you can actually have the uptime to run it more efficiently. Stop being ignorant on the issue and be a smart business owner.
