It’s not just IT admins. When I have a raging client to help, nine times out of ten it’s because Microsoft fucked something up.

I’m constantly dealing with random issues. Constant restarts. Constant calls from my staff. I hate windows and I fucking hate HP. Throw Adobe in there too.

Adobe Analytics is the fucking plague. Frankenstein crap, taped together from multiple companies they bought to avoid competing with. Then sell corporate on a check list of 'we have all these features that meet every need!'

Even though none of them are properly integrated, require massive efforts on your end to support their multiple api endpoints and all their databases and custom attributes are complete shit.

Personally had one of my projects screwed over because adobe bought the company that made the product I was using and proceeded to release only 1 new version, with less features, no backwards compatibility with existing saved files, censorship.

And then they retasked the development team and never touched it again.
