It&#8217;s NEVER with the intent of dealing with odd behaviour from Microsoft. (I know, I know&#8230;  Default action on booting Windows is to spend time trying to get it into a usable state.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe, if I was in the habit of using Windows daily, I&#8217;d eventually get used to it.  But I&#8217;m not a masochist. So I&#8217;ll never know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wonder if Mac users have similar fun issues&#8230;  Who am I kidding?  They don&#8217;t set up their machines to match their workflow.  That&#8217;s just not how Macs work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AAAaaaRRRggg!!!
