Dear happy happy corporate peoples. Today I went to download a copy of PC Guard as my kaspersky subscription has come to an end and I have been greeted by this...
At first I though it was a fire fox glitch but it turns out it is my unsupported and unknown operating system. Indeed it makes perfect sense as of course I am sure I must be one of only a small hand full of people in the world using this OS.
Its not well known, made by a small firm in California, Micro something or other.
I believe they called it windows 7.
Sarcasm aside (or at least most of it) given that windows 7`s release date has been known about since June, do you not think it may have been wise to have sorted this BEFORE the release date.
More to the point I am a qualified I.T. technician with a decade of experience, all be it an unemployed one (thank you Mr. Brown) and I would be more than willing to bet my left nutt (on my office chair of course) that the software will work fine on 7 as basically its bloody VISTA with a face lift and a few thousand fixed components.
So please, for the love of mercy, can you instruct your website NOT to tell me what's good for me, allow me to download the stupid thing, with a stipulation of no support from you if you must, and I will be the judge of whether or not it is right for me.
I would have called up about this issue but in between my internet currently being broken for the next four weeks, your phone service telling me it too is also having a technical problem, and being routed to Bombay on a market day via a line who's quality could be beaten by a long piece of string and two yoghurt cups, whilst being read a script by a person who knows less about I.T. than I did as a school boy, I felt I simply must write to you. I'm sure you understand.
