What is an annoying blue screen that leaves you asking questions?

 
 

Compare with:

Here's a question I have. Why did people keep going on Jeopardy (answering moderately difficult questions for an average of 20K) when they could have gone on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and answered questions such as:

 


Ooh, that's a tough one.
 

Unfuckingbelievable. You know what's even worse though? That Deal Or No Deal show. 95% of the contestants should have walked away with 100K just for not being idiots. But, alas, every time I tuned in early for Heroes, I had to watch morons pissing away money that should have been mine. Bah. Screw game shows.

But besides the occasional blue screen of death, Windows is nothing like them and is awesome. My favorite thing about it is how every few years they ship a half-ready buggy piece of shit that requires you to upgrade your hardware so you can have zero improved functionality, a laundry list of bullshit features that waste memory, and a week of trying to figure out why they moved everything around for no reason at all. Here's a clue, Microsoft: Maybe users wouldn't hate you if you didn't grab them by the balls by pressuring PC manufacturers like Dell and HP to adopt your bloated, new, crappy OS that's a year late and isn't ready yet anyway.

The corresponding question there that Microsoft doesn't have to seriously ask: "What could be done to keep users from praying that Google, Apple, or Sun will get a bigger piece of the OS market?" 

Microsoft is plenty busy playing a different game: Monopoly. And, just like Deal Or No Deal, it's easy money.
