10/11/09 00:09I had to play around with my roommate's Windows 7 a little bit while re-setting up our wireless connection. (Her laptop has a CD drive and ethernet port; mine doesn't.)
NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN, LINUX AND/OR MAC.
I know 7 is supposed to be an "improvement" over Vista, but everything looks weird and I can't figure out how things work. I know that's just the nature of switching to a different operating system, and Ubuntu's different just because it looks so much like WinXP straight out of the box, and if I were using Win7 on a daily basis I might grow to like and/or tolerate it. (We still have XP at work. I secretly kind of like XP.) But it should not have been that hard to figure out that the wireless connection was rejecting me because the password was wrong. Mac tells me. Ubuntu tells me. Tell me, Windows, instead of shrugging your figurative shoulders because you don't know what's wrong with the connection!
