As the author noted, this is Release Candidate software. Bugs like this are supposed to get ironed out here before it is released to market.
These kinds of bugs can often be difficult to catch because when I am debugging things, I often click through dialogs without really reading them. Of course they say what they're supposed to (and it makes sense), because I wrote them!
It's like having someone else proof-read a paper. If not, you'll just fill in the holes yourself.
- anigbrowl 17y agoIt's not a bug, it's a feature. I actually mean that, it strikes a balance between 'sure, do your thing computer' and 'no, I would like to specify exactly what should happen'. This approach has been built into Windows for a long time and I like it. I have a mix of hardware in my computer and some I configure automagically but some I need to set up manually. I suspect the blogger cited in the OP has never had to do technical support for a living.
