Why Windows is stupid:

  1. UI stolen from Apple stolen from DEC stolen from Sun stolen from Hewlett Packard. A plethora of misguided software souls.
  2. If 1,000,000 people do something stupid, it is still stupid.
  3. Acronym of the day: BSOD
  4. VMS +1 on each character = Windows NT
  5. A Finnish Graduate student not only could, but _did_ write a better system... in English.
  6. 640K aok. What the hell are they thinking?
  7. More lawyers than programmers.
  8. Acquisition dept. larger than Afghanistan, and more belligerent.
  9. Technopollution and Java.
  10. The Paperclip.
  11. What is the skinny on FAT? Who would do that to an innocent Hard Drive?
  12. 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*
  13. The US government is legally bound _not_ to buy NT because it failed the minimal security test. (FIPS 140-1)
  14. A quote from www.bugnet.com: (WinTel mag) "frankly, the PC software industry's performance has been abysmal."
  15. Frontpage has a "feature" (from MS report) which will allow a user to unknowingly delete their _entire_ hard drive.
  16. Three letters: DOJ
  17. They do in fact club baby seals... *honest*
