That's an understatement. It is the most f'd up Windows image I have ever seen.
It won't even run on my Siemens Field PG (which is my main machine for the type
of programming that I do - PLCs & HMIs). When the company PC boots up, it displ
ays a paragraph that accuses me of everything from Surfing Facebook to raping sm
all children... and then even though I can usually get my engineering software l
oaded, it refuses to let me apply updates and Service packs which makes it usele
ss. Part of my job is to support the software so the UPDs and SPs are a necessi
ty...
Suffice to say that the company does not want to buy any more Siemens Field PGs
(@$7k ea which is 50% off list) so I am being forced to try to get my stuff to w
ork on the company 'laptop'. My colleagues just buy their own laptops and don't
deal with it but I refuse to buy my own. I want the company to make their Dell
s work for the job... so I am kinda trying to pave the way for my colleagues and
those who follow to be able to do the job on the company PCs.
