    would be nice if it warned you, maybe a suspend wouldn't kill it and let you catch the bus.

    Ok i admit it i find windows irritating but it is such a time sink. Turns 5 minute jobs into 2 hour or longer ones and the damn printers.

    this afternoon two pc's connected to the same network printer one can print the other can send test pages only. both on the same group policy.

    Think it was a corrupted driver as i finally got it going by installing the wrong driver which it then pulled from the server and could print normally. Problem is theres another 200 or so random pc's which may have similar issues and nobody ever willing to say much more than its in that room along with 25 others...

    Maybe if i just use windows in a vm i can get control of it.

    It usually does warn you by putting a little icon next to Shutdown in the menu. I think it's a shield but it's been a while since I've used Windows.

    I think the idea is that if you want to do a task, you Start at the menu, even if it's to stop doing tasks. Of course, now it's where you Start raping your eyeballs with giant colored rectangles.
