Hey guys I think this should be interesting. 

Thanks or the A2A.

 

I'll tell you a story. About 16 or 17 years ago, before Mac OS X was released, I had a customer who brought me his Mac because it stopped booting up. The first time it happened I hooked up an external drive and booted from that. I couldn't find the problem, so I reinstalled the system and everything worked fine.

 

He brings it back to me in a week or so. Same problem. I am starting to suspect something is amiss and I ask him if he did anything — if he added anything or deleted anything, etc. He says "no." As TV's Dr. House says, "everybody lies." So I reinstall the system again and send him on his way.

 

A few days later, same thing again. This time I reinstall the system and hide the system folder. This was back in the day when there was an actual folder named "System" that had all the special stuff that made the computer run. I give the computer back and the next day he calls and says "what did you do with my system folder, I can't find it." I said "I hid it, why?" He says "because I modify it." I say, "I thought you said you didn't delete or add anything?" He says, "well, not to the computer, just to the System folder. I've been taking out stuff I don't think I need."

 

People who use computers come in three flavors:

 

Those who do little or no customization or modification to the way their device works;

Those who tinker and know what they are doing (or think they do);

Those who tinker and do not know what they are doing.

This is why so many Windows machines are a mess: because people who do not know what they are doing tinker with them.

 

And that is why iOS (and OS X, for that matter) are so restricted.

Thats how humans learn through our mistakes so what is your point here. That we shouldn't learn through mistakes but rather spend hrs learning how to do something exactly every time ya thats gonna work great ain't it.

Imho very few windows machines are a mess, and I think that it is nice that windows makes it easy for people to change things, although, if you open up and change certain things, windows will warn you, its better then just blocking you. I think that apple is more of a mess then windows is, even from the start, windows has always, imo, been a lot more put together.

Just so you are aware you tagged a banned account and not the real Linus.

His tag can be found under the staff list.

Can we even mess with the System/Windows folder on Windows anymore? Microsoft restricted it to all hell with Windows 10, even Program Files is somewhat protected now. So I kind of doubt this;

They are a mess because people are morons and download/open crap they found on facebook.
