I don't think it's that bad. It's a program, and like any other, it has some flaws. It works absolutely fine for me. And being someone who owns a computer store and regularly deals with Windows, that's saying something.

Other than that I don't have a problem with Microsoft. It's just fun to make fun of it.
I pretty much agree with both of the quotes above. I'm personally getting sick of people who bash Microsoft and Bill Gates without any distinct reason. Same goes for certain political figures, but I won't go into any detail. Not good stuff on the Chubbs forums.

There will always be something better or there will eventually be. Windows is okay, they have faults, but everything does. Just because some companies make it easier, doesn't make them better. People are in too much of a rush these days, we should slow done and be more like the Middle East.

Pan, that's so obvious I want to explode, but I won't to annoy you all. Plus, there is more than one.

This may be old, but hey, it fits the bill:
Top 16 Things Bill Gates would change about the Automotive Industry
At a (not) recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon".
In response to Bill Gate's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. For some reason you would simply accept this.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Apple would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
11. New seats would require everyone to have the same butt size.
12. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas.
13. The U.S. government would get subsidies from an automaker - a first.
14. You would be constantly pressured to upgrade your car.
15. You could have only one person in the car at a time, unless you bought Car 95 or CarNT - but then you would have to buy more seats.
16. People would get excited about the new features of Microsoft cars, forgetting that the same features had been available from other carmakers for years.
And Microsoft was burned fiercely thus, and it was good.

Norton has let me down so many times. And Ad-Aware isn't safe anymore because Lavasoft made a deal with a spyware company, WinU I think. So, that's bad...

People don't like Bill Gates and Windows because it's mainstream and big, so they think they are going against the machine. People make fun of windows and talk about it's bugs without realizing how difficult it is to make something as software compatible as window's is. It's litterally the master key when it comes to software and hardware. Systems like Linux tend to need you to create your own drivers or download extra ones to pretty much run anything on your computer. And your Joe-Average user isn't going to be capable of doing that which is why Windows is for them.
