And We Wonder Why Windows Is Still the #1 Operating System...
I was simply uninstalling a small VPN client program from my Windows PC, and this is the box that popped up... fortunately innocuously, because the program uninstalled cleanly. Great message, isn't it? Extremely helpful. :rolleyes:

Granted, this is probably a message generated by the program, not Windows, but it's still "Windows Thinking", because this is the message that the programmer decided would fit this type of error. Believe me, in my software development projects (in Windows), I do make the effort to be a bit more user friendly. A message like this is so typical.

I miss my Mac...
