The Manual Microwave requires you to generate the radiation yourself; by vibrating the food at an extremely short wavelength.
{According to Wikipedia: A microwave oven works by passing non-ionizing microwave radiation, usually at a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz (GHz)—a wavelength of 122 millimetres (4.80 in)—through the food.}

It's clear that that MS dialogue box should be "transfers only files" and not "only transfers files". One would assume MS could afford better technical writers.
Admin
That's not so odd. The first picture is a microwave which comes with a book that nobody will ever read.

A "Manual" microwave will be one with a non-electronic timer. Severely crap and definitely to be avoided, as old-style mechanical kitchen timers are notoriously hard to set for short intervals.
The Easy Transfer one isn't a WTF either, or rather it is, but not the WTF you think it is. It is telling you that the source bundle of files and settings came from a machine or disk with a different language (e.g., for instance, it came from a machine running Windows in French and you have a machine running Windows in English), and therefore only the files will be transferred, but the settings will not. The wording is pretty poor, and it's a little unfortunate if the two systems really had the same language, but there you are.

The sense I could extract from it, was that it could not transfer user settings, such as desktop background, font settings, etc., only actual files. So TRWTF is, why is user settings not compatible across different languages of Windows 7?!

Hmmm... "Re: Yes, YES, Yes, YES, Yes"... what a funny name for an article.

That dialog sounds like Madeline Kahn from History of the World, Part I.

Made me think of the Vicar of Dibley. Don't know if that's shown anywhere outside of the UK!

Error'd reaches new heights of dullness.
Well done all.

Pfff, you clearly don't understand the many different connotations of the word "No". There are, for example:
Knowing the difference between these different forms of "No" allows them to deliver much more relevant search results.

The incredulous/disbelieving "No", or "Nooooo!", as in "Noooo! It hasn't got Fast Wake, it can't have!"

TRWTF is Windows Easy Transfer.
Admin
You win today's internets.

Anyway I guess that explains why I have time for stuff like TDWTF... and the reserve of anger necessary to compose pithy comments here every day...
Admin
There is not enough space on server. You need an additional 734 PB to write your full comment.
Admin
Then of course, there is the opposite, when she says No but she means Yes.
This fundamental, congenital inability to communicate is why girls are TRWTF.

Actually they printed up a bunch of manuals, but the PHBs realized no one ever reads them so they came out with a lower priced line of microwaves without manuals to save costs. No one told the production folks, as usual, so thousands of manuals were printed up anyway. Now they have to move them out, so they're having a sale. If you buy a manual, you get a free microwave to go with it.
It makes perfect sense once you consider the real-world lifecycle of a manual.

734 PB to copy a file is par for the course bloatware for MS.
The new "object oriented" "fully integrated" "auto OLE enabled" copy command automatically opens up the source document, prints it to a virtual printer to get pixel-accurate layout, has your graphics card render the virtual printout in an invisible window, positions the invisible window on top of a photograph of a wooden table, takes a screen shot, pastes the screen shot into paint, saves it as a Bloatmap file (BMP), loads that into Word which turns every 1K of input into 15M of metadata and useless markup, converts the Word document into FrontPage formatted HTML, renders it in IE (in a virtual machine in case it crashes) and finally transfers that result to your destination.
This is all done in a virtual desktop running as SYSTEM so you don't see your screen flickering (too much) while it goes on. But isn't it great that this is all handled automatically for you, whether you want it or not?
Naturally, the OpenOffice / LibreOffice / Ubuntu people will not get any sleep until they can replicate this functionality in their platforms, because we must be bug-for-bug compatible with everything MS does no matter how ridiculous or useless.

So, someone converted their Astron Belt to a MAME machine and just booted to Windows to take a picture? I fail to see the fail.

Also, sorry...

I'm afraid the large number of No are just a try at javascript automatically handling choice on the list at the left of the line.
Someone fails to find how to hide an option in a radio group dynamically, all they can do is changing the label when the selected entry from the list is updated.
Is that web 2.0-0.1 ? or was it 1.0-0.5 ?

ASDA used to do their own brand electronics as "Pacific". They used to put short names on the shelf edge tickets.
This caused the hilarious "Pac Man Microwave"

I wouldn't want to release my graphics driver to the failure of Microsoft Windows either.

Sure, I would love to go out with you sometime.
You hear:
Sure, I would love to go out with you sometime.
Because that's what you want to hear. But she's thinking:
Sure, I would love to go out with you sometime.
And "sometime" means "sometime when we can go ice skating... in hell!"

I read that no no no no no no like Shia LaBeowulf whining in Transformers.

The No No No dialog was obviously written by one of the Zathras from Epsilon III.

As for your settings, if you want them transferred as well then you should transfer them to a PC running danish Windows with an english language pack, since the settings are coming from a PC running danish Windows. Whoever sold you the english Windows with a danish language pack didn't understand your real needs, or didn't understand Windows Easy Transfer.
You are now left with the less-desirable option of Windows Difficult Transfer, which involves you manually setting all those settings to your liking. Much better than the Windows Impossible Transfer, which is what we used to have. You know, the one where you had to transfer everything manually, like when migrating from Windows 95 to Windows 2000.

You filthy illiterates all of you - I'm also seeing two of "Mamma mia", which everyone has missed. In fact, three. Mamma mia mamma mia, mamma mia let me go.
Who says it's not mama mia, anyway?
