A little rant about Dell

I've just had to wipe my laptop and start over. Why do I have to download some software that will download a download manager so I can download drivers? Arrgh!

Because you did not read and understand the click here for direct download. That is why. That is all. Get some glasses. Pay better attention. I hope you are not the Guy who works for me I'm scared.

Why is there even the option to do anything other than a direct download? Heck, why does he even need to bother with drivers? This isn't his fault. It's poor design.

Calm down. I know of direct download. I hoped their manager would figure out which drivers would need to be downloaded.

I'm not complaining about the manager, I'm just curious as to why there needs to be so many steps. A better design would be to take my service tag and offer a zip containing the exact drivers I need.

Did you make a new account just to rant at my rant?
