Joejolly recently had several computer encounters with “black screens”. The background of his computer screen turned black. Joejolly first thought malware but later thought it was Microsoft. A system tray popup told joejolly to click on a button in order to validate joejolly’s operating system. Joejolly thought that to be a strange and outrageous demand since joejolly’s operating system came bundled with his computer several years ago. That Hewlett-Packard computer was purchased from Office Depot.
Joejolly thought Microsoft should be making demands on Office Depot or Hewlett Packard. So, joejolly sent an email to Hewlett Packard letting HP know of Microsoft’s concerns. And then joejolly removed Microsoft’s concerns from his computer. Vista was removed from joejolly’s computer and joejolly renewed an old acquaintance with UBUNTU. And all is well. No more black screens. No more pop-ups. No more tasks in task manager saying the nuisance would last until April of 2012. And UBUNTU is fine.
