My VM refuses to shut down from time to time, and I traced it down to dexplorer.exe. If I kill this, I can shut down. Guess what this is? It’s part of the MSDN help system that Delphi uses.

Seriously, this is the most convoluted, useless, pathetic help system I have ever encountered.

No really – thanks, guys. Great job on forgetting the bookmarks when closing a project. I really hate being able to quickly navigate to sections of large source files, and would much rather search and reset the bookmarks each time I open the project.

High quality

It’s just the high quality of the XP user interface that I find so appealing.

Windows Update Garbage

Leave it to Microsoft to get ALL THREE steps wrong:

1. The information bar is NOT located just below the address bar.
2. There is no option to “Install ActiveX Control” in the right-click menu.
3. There is no Install button in the Security Warning dialog box.

Pathetic. (click the images to see them in full)

A fine looking popup

Well done, guys. Well done. Very professional looking. And what’s cool is that both links in the popup are identical. Superb!
