OT: Windows Error Message

[Boris Mohar]

Scenario: Any windows system plus clueless user (me) attempting to install
new software. During the install there a window pops up with a cryptic
message that only the coder in India could understand. Clueless user
attempts to email the problem to tech support. WHY in this day and age I
cannot copy and paste the fucking error message? Instead here I am pencil in
hand scribbling it down to the last coma and semi colon. Surely such obvious
function should not have been overlooked. Is there some technically
insurmountable reason why this is not possible?

Is there a place in Micro$oft where suggestions for
improvement could be sent?

You might as well put them where you put the sand.

Every time I open...Favorites
it does not keep the last folder used open.

I don't even bother with accessing Favs from within the browser.

I keep a copy of my file manager open at all times.
It stays where I parked it.
(I don't use IE, but I do save Favorites as files
--not as Bookmarks in an HTML file. Yeah, wasteful. I know.)

Woodgate got this one right.

It constantly amazes me that supposedly tech-savvy people
still use Internet Exploder.
