Bill Gates probaby uses a Mac. Or runs Linux, at least.
It seems like every morning when I show up to work my PC needs to install some updates. As someone who has been using Macs pretty much exclusively for the past 4+ years, can someone explain why the hell Microsoft can't just use a better platform for their OS? Presumably, XP is so bad that I need a new security update every day? OSX is built on Unix (Apple has been using Unix since 1997), and I rarely have security updates for my MacBook.
Why can't Microsoft suck it up and say, "Okay, Windows hasn't been good for a very long time (coughVistacough). We need to build a new OS from the ground up; it needs to be stable and it needs to be secure." What is holding Microsoft back, exactly?
Prior to working here, I was interested in running Boot Camp on my MacBook for gaming purposes. Now I think I'm going to buy an XBox 360 (which is merely a hardware train wreck) so I can play Portal and Assassin's Creed.
On a completely unrelated note, this morning there was a Boston Metro guy handing out free papers (the papers are always free, but apparently being handed a paper makes someone more likely to actually pick it up and read it). I gave him a polite nod and went on my way. I'm 99% sure he's not sketchy, but I'm not taking my chances on that remaining 1%. I sure don't believe that I'm obligated to be nice to strangers, but it saddens me that the best thing for a young woman to do is to ignore any and all people she doesn't know.
On an even more unrelated note, I think I found my wedding dress. I'm not going to post a picture here yet, because I don't want to curse it; I need to try it on first.
