Alright, a bit of serious WTF?!?!?
A small business was being forced (by the building management, after their lease expired) to move to a suite on the next floor down. BUT, they had JUST built a fancy server room, complete with racks, A/C, dedicated power, UPS's, and ventilation... AND there was nowhere to move the room to in the new suite.
Building management worked out a compromise and let them keep the server room there. So as not to disturb the new tenants, they had a door built for access to the room on another wall, so that the downstairs peeps didn't need to walk through the upstairs office to get to their server.
BUT, the only room adjacent to the server room was the Woman's restroom. Inside the handicap stall.
(Inside the server room, looking out)

So, I just saw this and thought I would share it with you folks.
This is an excerpt from an ACTUAL letter written by Bill Gates in 2003 to a bunch of department chair down at Micro$oft. It reads like a pissed off letter I wrote to HP Tech Support last year.
It's good to know that Billy has the same problems with Windows that the rest of us do. Sometimes I think we lump him in with Micro$oft as the anti-christ, but he basically build computing as we know it, and he's just as pissed off at Windows as we are!
When an interviewer asked him about the email, he smiled and said, "There's not a day that I don't send a piece of e-mail ... like that piece of e-mail. That's my job."
Full Letter, and a string of replies and forwards placing blame and not acting on it are here: http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/library/2003Jangatesmoviemaker.pdf

I am quite disappointed at how Windows Usability has been going backwards and the program management groups don't drive usability issues....
I decided to download (Moviemaker) and buy the Digital Plus pack ... so I went to Microsoft.com. They have a download place so I went there. The first 5 times I used the site it timed out while trying to bring up the download page. Then after an 8 second delay I got it to come up....
So I did the download. That part was fast. Then it wanted to do an install. This took 6 minutes and the machine was so slow I couldn't use it for anything else during this time.
What the heck is going on during those 6 minutes? That is crazy. This is after the download was finished.
Then it told me to reboot my machine. Why should I do that? I reboot every night -- why should I reboot at that time?
So I did the reboot because it INSISTED on it. Of course that meant completely getting rid of all my Outlook state.
So I got back up and running and went to Windows Update again. I forgot why I was in Windows Update at all since all I wanted was to get Moviemaker....
