![]() No shutdown button, after wasting a whole weekend a few months ago, I was now back on Windows 8.0.įFS! What I did next was probably a bit rash in hindsight but couldn’t bare waste another weekend upgrading to Windows 8.1. I was given the helpful option to restore my machine to a working version of Windows which I was happy to do. This time all worked well but I had lost my weekend and gained a little bit more hatred for Windows.Ģ months later and after another Windows update my machine failed to boot. So Sunday, I went through the painful process of installing the updates 3 at a time to see if I could track down the culprit. Several hours later I was greeted by a message that the installation had failed and it had to spend the next 3 hours rolling back all the updates. So one Saturday I hit the update button and hoped. I had some faith, that after Windows had installed the 170 updates I would be up and running with the new version. However, like many, I didn’t have the seamless upgrade to Windows 8.1 that I had hoped. You can imagine my relief when they made the genius decision to put the shutdown button back on the start screen. The first version of Windows where I had to Google how to do a shutdown. Plus, I have had a few unfortunate circumstances over the last few years that have put me off Windows. To be honest, I quite like Windows 10 but the annoyances that existed with the previous versions are still there. ![]() Windows ME (:shudder:), Windows 2000, XP, 8, 8.1 and now Windows 10. With the revelation that the start menu made with Windows 95 and the stability brought from Windows 98. Since then I have used pretty much every Windows incarnation to date. I started coding when I was 10, with a Windows 3.1 machine that my Dad had brought home from work (I assume they were already obsolete at this point). So here is my journey to this point and why I can’t see myself going back to Windows. ![]() NET developer, I have spent most of my computing career with Microsoft at the helm.
