Very funny article from the Guardian yesterday--
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/sep/28/charlie-brooker-microsoft-mac-windows
(excerpt)
"I know Windows is awful. Everyone knows Windows is awful. Windows is like
the faint smell of pi** in a subway: it's there, and there's nothing you
can do about it. OK, OK: I know other operating systems are available. But
their advocates seem even creepier, snootier and more insistent than Mac
owners. The harder they try to convince me, the more I'm repelled. To
them, I'm a sheep. And they're right. I'm a helpless, stupid, lazy sheep.
I'm also a masochist. And that's why I continue to use Windows . horrible
Windows . even though I hate every second of it. It's grim, it's slow,
everything's badly designed and nothing really works properly: using
Windows is like living in a communist bloc nation circa 1981. And I
wouldn't change it for the world, because I'm an abject bloody idiot and I
hate myself, and this is what I deserve: to be sentenced to Windows for
life."
