Windows Collections!

[sb123]

1. Microsoft broke Volkswagen's world record: Volkswagen only made 22 million bugs!
2. A greeting(!) as common as hand-shakes: "Have you reinstalled your Windows today?"
3. The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.
4. Windows - The Gates of hell
5. The crook got pleading on hearing the 'merciless verdict' , "Either beat me or whip me, but, please, don't make me use Windows!"
6. The best subroutine ever written for Windows - The Uninstaller!
7. Computers are like air conditioners, they stop working properly if you open Windows.

At last, God invented the human-beings and then He rested! Humans then invented the computer, then the Windows... then the mouse, the bugs, the pests, the viruses, the worms .... Oh, why did God invented the human?

I loved it when Microsoft used to use the "Where would you like to go today?" catchphrase.

Nowadays I wish I could go anywhere but a black hole of errors!

Actually, I'm Windows' best friend! I said it somewhere that I have witnessed its birth (was working on DOS before Windows was on the drawing board!) I was happy when it came into being, and thought that this was a great system, and life would become far better!

Before that, it was mainframes with very cold office rooms, and it meant learning COBOL (remember that very difficult programming language?) in this part of the world to make a living out of computers, ... That was in the late 1980s, when even a PC with only floppy drives, or a 20-MB hard-disk, a Hercules B/W monitor, & nothing more ... used to cost like a BMW! Then came PC-XT - 640 kb RAM, and 20 MB hard-disk - (I had one) and Windows 2, I think. I learnt AutoCAD version 8 or 9 (I don't remember the version) on it! And a few other graphics softwares, as well as DTP, Word, Excel, dBase IIIplus, Lotus 123, ... But, Windows has grown up like a spoilt kid since!

It is just that I really hate its difficult mannerisms. It has a few bad habits, you see!

I had similar thought 2 years back, but things have changed now. Knowledge possessed by our existing Windows Team has made me realize how good Windows is if things are done in right manner.

If you overload a Windows server, it would simply start processing queries slowly but it wont crash. Linux will continue with the Load and at a certain limit it will crash. There are many such advantages of Windows over Linux.

Our System Admins can add more to this as they know Windows much better than me.

I was a well known Linux system admin (in the company I worked for) in the past and I really hated Windows, I use to curse the Windows team saying that are wasting their time with the crap OS. But after I started looking to it closely I now know how to think in a direction that "Windows" think.

And today I can say that Windows is a better OS over Linux. I know it does have few disadvantages but one does not have to be a certified or go through a course to use Windows. That is the reason we have more RHCEs than MCSEs.
