Windows: The Last Straw
So, in Windows, you can get to a list of your recent documents from the Start menu, and you can right-click on the document name and use a context menu just like you were clicking on the file within Windows Explorer.
You can choose “send to mail recipient” and it will email the document from within your default email application, so that you have the spreadsheet, wireframes and .zip of e-mail files waiting for you at work.
But if it’s very late at night, or very early in the morning, you might not notice that you’re actually just emailing aliases of those documents, little 1K jobbies that contain no useful data at all.
Hey, Microsoft. Why would any person ever want to e-mail a shortcut of a file?
Hello? How many kinds of stupid is that?
The next time I buy a computer, it’s going to run Mac OS.
