For several days, my website's index page wouldn't update. I was at the point of tearing my hair when I remembered to check for case. As I suspected, my Windows computer had sabotaged me by changing the case of one of my files to uppercase. My case-sensitive ISP thought I had uploaded a new file.
I cannot understand why Windows is so poorly designed that for a Windoze user to interact with the rest of the world (Largely based in Linux and Unix (REAL Operating Systems)) requires a great deal of care and attention to petty details. No, I don't think everyone should switch away from Windows. There are certain things you just can't get, and I want them.
In my opinion, the fault lies with Windows. It simply isn't copacetic. Why in the world would you write an operating system (in a world where at least 60% of the internet is case-sensitive servers) that changes the case of files when files are moved, without asking the user? The answer is obvious, but stupid: Microsloth is not interested in compatibility with the rest of the world.
