How difficult can it be? The tech support scammers manage to talk people through it, and they're not even doing it in their first language!

Yep, it really sux when it takes longer to get an end user connected on a remote than it does to fix their problem once connected!
I started doing frontline support before remote desktop sharing and remember well how difficult and frustrating it was to solve problems that way. Reliable remote desktop over the internet was a game changer for me, my company, and most importantly our clients. We're all spoiled now!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I'm glad to see Microsoft pushing into hardware - competition is good for all of us.
Given the generally high prices on Microsoft's new gear I'll be interested to see if the folks here in the Lounge that usually bash Apple for their prices will be honest with themselves and also bash Microsoft or will hypocrisy prevail?
My money is on hypocrisy.

The usual answer is :
"Why buy that Microsoft/Dell/HP/Apple fancy looking crap while I can build a cheap(er) ass ugly crap myself."
I'd rather be phishing!

MS is reporting that the Surface Pro and Surface Book are selling well enough, despite the prices. So, there's gotta be a market for them.
That said, I don't see anyone buying MS hardware because of brand name fanaticism.

I didn't see people buying MacBooks or iMacs because of brand fanaticism either but plenty of people think they did just because they think Apple prices were too high.

So you've never encountered any discussion where Apple is compared basically with a religion?

I know I have. And I know I've encountered the same about MS here on CP.

I honestly can't say I've ever met anyone though who gets a hard-on from MS in the same way some Apple users do.
|

I have. Plenty man. Anyway, I think any rational adult will find both faults and good things in both companies. If we were only rational adults.

MS will eventually fail every user of theirs, big time, at one point or another. Anyone expressing the same religious fervor about MS as some Apple fanatics do has to have something wrong with them. 
And I'm saying this as someone who:
(a) Would never give Apple a penny
(b) Has made a living off of MS's platform all of his life
(c) Has worked for a company that got acquired by MS and made a decent profit in the process

Totally agreed.

Only where the group consists of Apple bashers who think it's a religion for whatever reason. I've heard that some Apple fans can be over the top but I've never actually seen it.

Um... xbox. Hello?
And in the PC world that has more to do with the fact that MS is primarily a software company. Kinda hard to play favorites to something that only recently started with tablets.

I don't think bringing a gaming console into a discussion about computer hardware helps you make your point.
