I've been using it for the last two years and for the most part find it no worse or particularly better than the others. What I don't like is Microsoft changing the interface and there is no notice until after the fact when they get around to sending an email. What makes this worse is they don't keep the documentation current so you try to find out how to do something and the doc doesn't match.

I kinda think the answer is, "poorly".
We changed from TFS to git earlier this year. Sure, it takes a while to get used to the local and remote repos in git, but once you're past that, you no longer have the frustrating little "nuances" of TFS mentioned in many of the other replies.

Works every time.
Gotta boot into safe mode to do it though.
Or boot in to another Administrator account. That's what I do now and haven't had an issue.

It was very good. I have had it in the past, back when we were allowed to have an Oktoberfest with litre steins and no one worrying if we were paraletic. I of course was, so memory of all that was drunk was non existent.
I didn't read the not so fine print that told me the carton was 18 bottles and not Australia's standard 24. So the deal wasn't as good as I thought, but bloody good beer all the same.

Good to hear. I would send you some, but shipping it around the planet would not be cheap. Long ago I had my beer air transported to me by an airline called Luftwaffe, but those connections are long gone.

All I got when I booted was a notification about a firmware upgrade for my Brother printer which I declined, I then saw all my taskbar icons where white and non responsive, all drive mappings had disappeared etc etc, restoring from a backup now - bloody pain

You could also restart the windows explorer service (explorer.exe). this has helped me in the past. (on two separate occasions this has worked for me)

Yea tried that - no good - restoring from backup now

Mine does weird things occasionally, usually a reboot takes care of it.

Had another letter from TWC inviting me to try cable TV again.
Then I read it through, one part made me laugh:
SPECTRUM INTERNET
Fastest Speeds
Unleash faster internet with 100Mbps starting speed.
Or, keep your current internet speed of 300Mbps for $40 a month more.
Yup, sign me up to upgrade me by downgrading me to a lower speed for the same money and then charge me $40 a month more to go back to where I started.
No wonder these morons are losing customers by the hundreds of thousands.

Thanks for that laugh Oh TWC, you never learn.

100, 300, it's all the same.
Just give them your money and hope for the worst.

I get these things every few days...
On one side, there are the letters from TWC/Spectrum asking me to switch back (I ditched them for FIOS)... They pretty much amount to, "Pweeeeeeease come back! We wuv you wong time!"
On the other side, there are the equally-frequent letters from Verizon asking me to switch to FIOS... Which just proves that their spam is completely untargeted, because I switched to FIOS last year, and I'm still a customer.
Too bad the days of CDs-in-the-mail have ended... At least in those days, AOL mailers made great frisbees and coasters. These days it's just paper.

Comcast is no better. I've been a customer for over 3 years and they continuously spam me with emails wanting me to switch. One of the spamails I actually read challenged me to compare my current internet speed to what I could get with their service. Their speed test showed what I could be getting versus what I was settling for. (their own service!)
