Ms Office(you Hv To Fiddle Wid 1000 Settings To Make A Text Document!!! Arrrrrrrgh)

Ugh! Are you wrestling with it?

 

[navjotjsingh]

I can see people find softwares irritating when they can't configure them properly. MS office is the best Office software one can use...!

And please post genuinely irritable softwares. Windows is not the one atleast for me!

guys how come ZoneAlarm is irritable???

atleast it does its WORK PERFECTLY, that is blocking unneccessary incoming/outgoing traffic.

just coz its resource hog doesnt mean its irritating s/w, if your system cant handle it, dont install it.

ZA crashes or malfunctions if your system does not meet the requirements ->XP SP2. or due to some in-compatible AV s/w...

when you say Norton, i'll agree , coz its a paid product but still faaaaar behind the free AV solutions. (Detecting virus/trojans).

how many of you here use LimeWire?

 

[blueshift]

I use Limewire..I didn't find any problems except that the searched results have ad links.

 

[prateek_san]

i too use limewire.....prob with ZA is that it slows up the whole system performance.....as this is my case.....dunno bout others....

 

[..:: Free Radical ::..]

^ ZA free 7.5 worx perfectly 4 me. I am using it on an old system with 256 mb sdram and willamette p4 1.5. just turn off the mailsafe settings and antivirus monitoring.
I hate what they did to acrobat 8 with the pink pdf thumbnails. What an eyesore.

i hate norton antivirus - bloody slows down the comp like hell and also SYSTEM MECHANIC great software ..... but hangs the system as its also very slow.... sick of both


buddy put a poll how many hate or like norton tat would be better

 

[s18000rpm]

to all LimeWire users,

hmm, so you never felt that LimeWire slows the system down , well it slows my PC, when i restore it (frm minimized state), it takes nearly 30 seconds for it to become functional, & in the process takes 90+% CPU & stops all other activities (WinAmp, Opera...) till it loads.

i've 256MB RAM pc, ZA remains OFF, when using LimeWire.

do get something (songs,...), we gotta tolerate something (pc slow down)

One of the software which I hate is "Download Accelerator Plus". Initial Free version came bundled with spywares. It is really sucking as a download manager. More over, it's takes a nice 5+ seconds to initiate a download!

well even i wud be happy not to use AV solution (for system speed), but i'm NOT the ONLY user of my PC & the other users (my frnds), visit "those" sites a lot, so....

 

[Ihatemyself]

pityful man...ihate to share my pc wid anyone( i m not MEAN but some possessions shd be only your.......again sorry to repeat but i wud prefer hell to norton(hmmm somewhat)

Another one i hate is Internet Explorer 7.0( and ppl say microsoft has improved it) Firefox is best (opera is not so plug-in friendly) ....and i also hate nero showtime ...till it starting u could read 1/4 digit mag(ive done it)

well , the beauty of any software lies in ease of use . i agree that ms office may b good but i have found more people struggling with it than creating a professionally lookin document(they rather open notepad / wordpad). what is software when u spend time always configuring it ? MS should definitely add some wizard/quickstarter for easy configuring.

anyways, its always a matter of personal choice
no offence

IE7 when compared to IE6, has definetly improved

i'm using Opera for more than a year now, i tried FF, but too much plug-in thing, which Opera offered as "out of box".
(i'm not tryin to make another browser war).

what? nobody experiencing the LimeWire thing like me?
