hello to all
and thanks for puting up with my rant!!
up till this point, I have been very passive about the winblows vs linux battle.
whenever i was asked to help with an os, i helped and many times put my best foot forward
and did things out of the goodness of my heart(time&money).but as of today,I am hell bent
on an alternitive!! I have come across a problem from one of my children. we were asked to help
a child of ours(fineaclly) and as any good parent I've asked what her grades were. So the school
has sent us a transcript, in a xps format. low and behold I could'nt open it with any thing in Ultimate Edition!!
I've searched and did some digging and still nothing!!I had to bow down to micro$oft and load up my xp
(wich has'nt been started for months) and see what was being sent to me!!
up till now everything has been a piece of cake.wine has filled in when nothing else would work and did it wonderfully!! I am having a hard time beliving that nothing will work first,this is were I'm asking for help.
what can i do to open this up!! I understand that M$ is not a open platform and everything is as hush,hush
as possible. but to make a format that only your product can use is rediculous!!
I know there is other items of the same nature out there & thee mahn has done his best to fill this
hole but to be pushed(shoved) like this from a school & forced to usesomthing is crazy...
please,please give me your 2 cents about this.so i can mabie,mabie come to a reasonable concolusion!!
I'm so ticked about this I see all my misspelling and just dont care,do i let the f--ken school
rule my life when I,m paying there salary!! its not right & i'm spitting mad!!
thanks for letting me rant.
