The unadulterated stupidity that is Windows networking continues. Let's see how Windows can irritate the crap out of me now:
In the middle of a huge file transfer, decide that "wow, I see another wifi network. Let me disconnect you from the one you are on to inform you about it"
In the midst of a large transfer, simply offer a cancel dialog when, for no good reason at all, you can't transfer a specific file. Claim that it's in use, and force me to start all over again. Whatever you do, don't offer an option to skip and continue
When I restart the transfer, don't offer to only grab only the files I already have. Force me to decide one by one, or just do a wholesale replacement
Thank you, Microsoft. The next time I have to fork over my own money for a machine, it's going to be a Mac or Linux box - because this just sucks. Hey Scoble - the Tablet stuff is completely irrelevant, because your base networking code is just a pile of steaming dung. Next time you visit the campus, make sure you let the Windows networking team know what a complete mess they've made of Windows.
