HP & Windows XP Media Center Edition
Another boring day of work. and by work i mean sitting at this desk reading my 2 dozen RSS feeds. between work and home i must have about 100 feeds that get checked.
My computer was being a dick this morning and i had to restore it to factory settings. HP really did a good job at making the OS unusable and bloated. Unfortunately i am stuck with it until I can get a new XP key from school, which is conveniently, on September 7th. So until then i must withhold my full wrath from being unleashed upon this monstrosity of an operating system.
Of course i cant hold back my wrath until then so to curb my appetite today i nailed the bookstore by buying my books online, saving $60. Take THAT bookstore!

Well Daniel what can I say about branded PC’s. They sometimes makes it so harder to use it. I’m not saying Mac but I’m saying like these giant guys like Dell, HP, Compaq, or whatever. I’ve experienced repairing those kind of PC where it is impossible for me to reach to its compartment. Damn it! Too compact for a geek like me to handle if there’s anything wrong with it. Even I’ve cut my fingers too many times with those kind PCs.
But anyway, about the software side, they always installed applications that we don’t usually need. That makes it a lot slower to download. Like recently, my friend’s sister just bought a Compaq laptop loaded with Vista. I guess it tends to make her Wow! factor but it seems the Wow! factor is when nothing seems to work with Vista and it is so damn slow. Sigh….

Can’t say enough good things about HP. Of course, mine is a biased opinion…
