Is it Normal to Hate Microsoft Windows?

I started getting the hang of OneNote. I love what it is about.

I have short list softwares I need added to my laptop from work. In OneNote, I wanted the list to be formatted in a manner different from the UniFormat provided in OneNote for text. So I thought I would format the text in Word, print to PDF, thenj insert the PDF into OneNote.

Remember the list is short. To place the short list how I want it in OneNote, 11-inch virtual paper yields a huge block under the list of unused "white space"* So back to Word I go, set the paper size at 8.5 x 5. Print to pdf, insert to OneNote, and the text is sideways now, because the people smarter than us at Microsoft are able to figure out that 8.5x5 is supposed to be sideways, but I wanted it not sideways.

So next i am in UniSearch (combining all the searh engines of the world, and I am soon reading an excellent explanation by Omer Atay, Principal Software Engineering Manager on the OneNote team at Microsoft, telling the tail of how this is a known problem but since life is life they have not fixed it yet, but he had a very practical-sounding suggestion, that turned out to be one of the lies Microsoft always tells. Microsoft's favorite kind of lie is the easy way everything works, except it never works the way they describe it. In this case, here was Omer's gracious suggestion, he was so generous to share with little people.

And I quote:
One suggestion I can give is, instead of using Insert > File Printout, open the file first and then use Print command in the application (e.g. Adobe) and choose your orientation there. This will do the same insertion, but with the correct orientation.

Sounds easy. Now try it. Microsoft answer always are like escher bach paintings with impossible stairs and other optical illusions. His suggestion is the same as the procedure he says he is offering a replacement for. It's like, "yeah, adding 5 and six is a challenge when you need the result to be 15 instead of 11. So what you do is add five and six to get your 15. Bye Everybody, I just wanted to give you a tip!"

Finally, the kicker. How did ding dong come to think he was making a constructive suggestion? Oh I know, he never tried it himself. He heard it in a meeting.

I hate Microsoft.

Upon further review, the suggestion made my the Microsoft wizard is different from the procedure I am running. I use Microsoft products all day every day at work. All the software is paid for by my employer and everything is setup to provide everything with a single login. Except for the OneNote print pdf from AnyMicrosoft and you can pick the OneNote software as the printer

and when you do, it demands your credentials it has been running all day. Oooooooooooook I enter my credientials Does it say Good and work? Of course not! Does it say with red type intended to humiliate the credentials are wrong? Nope, too easy to fix. I freezes and says, "there is a problem try later"

I hate microsoft

There's always Mac.

I love Escher Bach Paintings.
I hate Android, which forces you not to think by yourself.

Consider switching to another company. I am not using a Microsoft product at the moment.

Ever tried to make a screen shot of the formatted Word content (alt + prntscr) and paste it in OneNote?
