2018-12-17 Today I wasted one hour at work, right in the morning, just wait- ing for my computer to become ready. :-( It's a Windows 7 system. After it had booted, it was terribly slow ... everything was slow. I don't know why. Outlook wasn't usable even after several minutes. All the time ``does not react'' messages popped up. How can this happen? I mean, this is just a piece of native software on a powerful machine. The machine does do nothing but just dealing with itself. How can a system waste all it's resources for just dealing with itself!? Seems to be perfect bureaucracy ... My virtual machine was not even not started ... 1 hour startup time for Windows 7: horribly slow, reboot, install updates, ... Horrible! And this is considered to be ``normal''. People just don't know how good software can be or could be if the goal would be to make good software, not earn the most money out of a near monopoly. http://marmaro.de/lue/ markus schnalke
