Windows Mobile Hater
- Windows
From being a pro-Windows person to a Windows Mobile hater is quite a drastic change.
I used to use Windows operating system for everything. Be it work or play, however after my horrific experience with the Windows Mobile OS I vow to never ever go to it for anything in the future, even if it is a life and death situation, as I am sure it will screw me over in my last few breaths on Earth!! I am that serious!!!
And GarminAsus is a freaking failure!!! I don’t even care if it bears the word GARMIN. I am pissed off at it and that’s a fact. Seriously, you would think if you download software from www.asus.com under Garmin Asus M10 phones you would get the correct version but can you believe at the end of the download it asks me to then download Microsoft Active Sync. So that’s what I did. Trust me when I say I was still very patient at this point.
After downloading the Microsoft Active Sync, it says that if you install this your Windows might not be able to start properly. At this time I am a little less patient. So I went and checked on the web and found that Microsoft Active Sync is not compatible with Windows 7 instead I have to download Windows Mobile Device Center.
By this point I was beyond caring so i clicked on the link to go to the download. However Microsoft then asked me to download a validation software. Ugh… Fine, downloaded it entered the freaking password then went to run the M10 firmware update. Okay, this is where it stopped being user friendly, it says I have to stop every single thing I am doing, close every program and then only the stupid installation process would continue. Fine, did that and the final screen said that “There is something wrong with your installation please set your phone language to the same language as this installation process. ARGH~~~ It is in f**king English man!!! WTH is your problem!!!
In the end I seriously gave up. But by some miracle by the name of Adrian, he had done it before so apparently I had downloaded the wrong version. So for any “Software Updates” you are supposed to go to garminasus.com and not asus.com. How stupid is that? I don’t know, call me a nut job but I am pissed out of my mind at the moment. And the Windows Mobile experience is so not sitting well with me. It sucks!!!!!!!!!!
I dont get most of what you were complaining about (and skipped like most of the middle paragraphs) … but guess it’s really that bad hey.. or are you so used to using apple already.. oh well, it’s good that you know the problem and can find a way around it… wish i have the same ability when it comes to technology ><
Haha~ sorry for the tech talk.. Although bet you are missing that since I left… Hehe~ oh well yeah good that I solved it in the end but still it pissed me off big time… Technology can really drive me up the wall…
Btw, life any better?
~SUE~
haha.. that’s ok.. i think KH miss more of ur tech talk since now there’s no one to discuss this type of things with him
well.. technology also drives me nut but in a different level than u for sure >< my life's ok, spending lots of time study since got nothing to do which is probably a good thing..?! and i'm really enjoying my queen-size bed here, gonna miss it when i go back to brissie 
cant wait to go back to see u all!!! so good that u'll be coming!!!!!!! got anywhere u particularly wanna go? camping? bush-walking?
Haha… Yeah I think KH misses that the most..
Technology sometimes just drives me up the roof… Grr… Annoying stuff..
Good lah.. Study hard get great grades… Although I doubt you don’t already do so..
Yeah… Can’t wait either… Well I’ll be back often as I need to fulfill my 2 out of 5 years stay in Australia… So you’ll see quite a bit of me… I am not sure what I want to do… But any suggestions?
