My basic problem is, if I ever had a CD disk into my drive previously, when attempting to launch PowerShell (LOL @ the term "power", compared to my Linux term) it won't even start, claiming "There is no disk in drive D:"
Only solution(s):
1) Insert random music CD into drive D: and play... rock on!
2) Restart computer, then launch. Seems to work OK.
WTF is this nonsense??? Why does PowerShell care what disks are in what drives? This is EXACTLY the kind of B.S. that I hate Windows for!
Ok, to reverse it for you *NIX users, what if.. when you went to open XTerm or whatever, it crashed with a stupid dialog saying "No disk mounted on /media/blahblahblah"... You wouldn't expect that, and I've never seen such a bull........ system on *NIX.
Personally, I think its idiomatic of Microsoft products... that they want to control more than they need to or should ever be designed to. I'm quite sure the XTerm and PowerShell or any command line prompt terminal does not need to depend on my ........ing peripheral storage devices in order to work goddammit!
I think maybe when PowerShell opens, it tries to snoop into every damn part of the system.. for god's knows why... I don't know. Maybe it even checks my web browser (cause it knows which ones are there) for my bookmarks.. maybe it tries to make an internet connection to all my bookmarks whenever I try to open a prompt to the C:\ drive... So now I'm gotta have a CD playing and a ........ing internet connection in order to launch a gimped up version of GCC and GNU make on this craptastic dev platform called Winblows...
