A Serious Bug has been reported in the upgrade to wife 1.0. Users have reported
that when upgrading from girlfriend 1.0 or above to wife 1.0 the application
becomes a memory hog leaving very little system resources for other applications.
Upon installation, Wife 1.0 is apt to spawn a child device which further consumes
system resources. No mention of these bugs is included in the certificate of
authenticity which accompanies the installation of Wife 1.0, although many
users accept this as normal due to the nature of the application. Note: Wife
1.0 installs itself in such a way that it is always launched at system initialisation,
monitoring all other system activity. It is this system monitoring that causes
BeerBash 6.5, Ladsnight 3.0 and Pullbird 1.23 to crash the system when selected.
Even though these applications worked fine before. Further more, there is no
option to disable the installation of useless Wife 1.0 plug ins, such as MotherinLaw
55.8 and BrotherinLaw Beta version. System performance is reported to deteriorate
with each passing day, however DO NOT consider installing the performance boosting
Mistress 1.1. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0,
Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before uninstalling itself. Mistress 1.1
will then refuse to install claiming insufficient resources.
Please also be aware of certain Shareware applications, notably LocalBike 7.95
which are likely to carry viruses that may affect Wife 1.0 rendering the whole
system practically useless. It may be possible however to install the development
application Mistress 3.5. This Software is aware that Wife 1.0 is running with
priority and installs using cloaking techniques to avoid system conflicts.
This particular version will install with no nag messages about upgrading itself
to Wife 2.0. Those who have no desire to upgrade Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0
should also be aware of a known bug in Girlfriend 2.0. Again, you must uninstall
Girlfriend 1.0 before installing Girlfriend 2.0,this is due to potential conflicts
over the shared use of the primary I/O port.
Some users have also noticed that the Girlfriend uninstall utility does not
work very well, leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system.
Note: That most versions of Girlfriend below version 8.0 will also pop up annoying
messages about the so called advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0.
