Andrew is not very smart. Windows isn't very good, but he is very clueless. There are legitimate things to complain about, but Andrew just complains.

I think Andrew might be a lawyer.

My roommate for a couple years in college was pre-law, and did some internships after graduation but before gaining his own law degree. He mentioned at one point how absolutely and hilariously pervasive it was at the firm he was working for attorneys to just run screaming to IT every single time literally anything was even the slightest bit inconvenient or obtuse (to their understanding). Part of it was the logic of “I bill clients at $800/hr, I am not spending my time to resolve whatever this hiccup is”, but part of it was absolutely also some bullshit power dynamics.

I was working with a doc on an IT problem a few months ago.. It was a mildy terrifying experience, I would never want someone so ignorant as my doctor.

I don't know, I don't think I want the best IT person in the world performing an appendectomy.

Just because you're an expert in one field doesn't mean you're an expert in every field.

Yeah like, complain about the one thing MS is finally improving in recent years, clamping down on non-admin users and non-admin permissions.
