Why Windows is stupid:
- UI stolen from Apple stolen from DEC stolen from Sun stolen from Hewlett Packard. A plethora of misguided software souls.
- If 1,000,000 people do something stupid, it is still stupid.
- Acronym of the day: BSOD
- VMS +1 on each character = Windows NT
- A Finnish Graduate student not only could, but _did_ write a better system... in English.
- 640K aok. What the hell are they thinking?
- More lawyers than programmers.
- Acquisition dept. larger than Afghanistan, and more belligerent.
- Technopollution and Java.
- The Paperclip.
- What is the skinny on FAT? Who would do that to an innocent Hard Drive?
- DOS 3.0 = 100k , DOS 6.0 = 4 Meg , Win 3.1 = 12 Meg , Win95a = 80 Meg , WinNT4 = 200 Meg. Minix (circa 1998) = 1 Meg. Linux = 20 Meg. Full Solaris = 150 Meg. *sigh*
- The US government is legally bound _not_ to buy NT because it failed the minimal security test. (FIPS 140-1)
- A quote from www.bugnet.com: (WinTel mag) "frankly, the PC software industry's performance has been abysmal."
- Frontpage has a "feature" (from MS report) which will allow a user to unknowingly delete their _entire_ hard drive.
- Three letters: DOJ
- They do in fact club baby seals... *honest*
