windows sucks, copyright fidget 2001 (cannot find license, so please ask me to remove if not appropriately used)
I just got a new lenovo W510 with windows 7. I was kind of looking forward to trying it out, windows 7 was supposed to be a good experience. After 1.5 hours I finally got it to work decently talking to the network. During that first 1.5 hours I had to power windows 7 down 4 times because it had become irresponsive. I repeat, 4 times. All I had done was clicking on the network or wireless buttons in the task bar, and clicked a little around, trying to get it to find my wireless lan.
It turned out that my wireless LAN had been turned off, so it somehow got stuck looking for something, to say the least I am not impressed. An OS/GUI must not become irresponsive from just clicking around in network configuration menus.
The behaviour I saw what a window open, not reacting to input. When I clicked the taskbar, somewhere, it said the windows was irresponsive and offerend me to cancel or shut it down. No matter what I chose, nothing happened. I could not open the “start” menu, and I could now start the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc).
Now, with network on (both a cable and my WLAN turned on), it starts to work again. If turning obnoxious on me again, expect an update.
He’re a video of the behaviour, it is mean to show that no matter what I click, all I get is the non-effective popup. And when I try to bring up the task bar at then end, I still just get the popup. windows7 dead end
