[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 779066"] One thing I've been think about lately is that aside from Microsoft, all technology in general is flawed and way more complicated than it needs to be. I look at my family for example, aside from the routine help with Windows we all provide to our friends and family, I still help them out with their iPhones, ipads, tv's, android phones, etc... IMO all companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc...) are to blame for the state of technology today. Some do certain things better than others, but they all still introduce their own issues/levels of complexity. Apple for example has their own stupid connector, they cannot adopt USB 3.0/3.1 like everyone else. You have to use iTunes to upload anything, atleast with android you can treat it like a USB stick, the android ecosystem is so diluted with all hardware vendors doing their UI's and it goes on and on. I look at my family and I know full well that no matter what they are using, there will always be something. Like you said the user is seldom thought of when these things are made and let's not get started on IoT devices. [/QUOTE]
