You know when software is crap when…
Today I was amazed. I was using Microsoft Office 2007 on my PC at work to document one of our products. I tried to perform a routine edit operation on some text when Office crashed. Kindly it re-launched and recovered my work. So I attempted to perform the same edit operation again. Guess what?… It crashed again. But this time not only did it restore my work but it also displayed this dialog:
Is it just me that thinks any program that needs it’s own version of Norton Diagnostics built-in and powerful document recovery is probably just a badly written piece of software? Why should end-users have to put up with this nonsense. No program should require a built-in diagnostic suite. I wonder what my Mum would make of this screen if it popped up when she was working on her essay?
