I really enjoy this message, because it's so gloriously
insane.
For those who haven't been subjected to the horror firsthand, when you
install Windows or
log on to an
NT machine onto which you haven't logged (?!) before, you see a
dialog box for a long time. It has this message on it. It has
nothing else on it. No "
cancel" button. No nothing. You can't make it stop except by turning the
computer off (if you're
installing, don't do that; I tried it once and I had to
reinstall the whole damn
operating system).
So, like, what's "
personalized" about these settings, exactly? It won't let me tell it anything: There is no
interface. This
only happens in cases where the
OS has never "seen" me before (or presumably when you install the
browser wilfully, but has anybody ever done that? If so, why?), so it can't know anything about me by other means; therefore it cannot possibly be "personalizing"
anything.
What an amazing company. They ram an unwanted
OS patch down your throat, they disguise it as a
web browser, and then before they're done they have to
insult your intelligence yet again just to get the point across.
