Samsung Kies Mainstage - a Failure

Samsung Kies has been one of the worst designed piece of software i've seen in a long time. Not only it has issues in connecting to the devices, it also gives a lot of trouble in starting up. Also, at a number of occasions, it gets hanged. It also affects the other processes that un on the OS. Here's a view of the screen during one of my PC's freeze on running Kies.


The white screen that you see is the Kies Mainstage screen. This is not something morphed. Just as i used to run the Kies application, the Kies Mainstage froze the system. Because of this, most of the applications that run on the system became unstable, and started freezing(maybe because of Thrashing).

This is not a new problem for Samsung. Samsung SDS, which is responsibe for making softwares for Samsung hardware, has been shamelessly promoting this application for the new geneation Samsung phones, phones like Ch@t 332, Ch@t335, even with the Android smartphones, such as Galaxy Ace. Everyone that has been using this application has been constantly grumbling about the unstability, hanging, slowing and inefficiency of the application and its side-effects on the system. And if you download the new version of Samsung Kies, its nothing more than a media suite for managing audio-visual media, which can be done even with a memory card reader. Utter nonsense

Hoping Samsung will be reading this ... Please stop distributing this nonsense and introduce something sensible.
