a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

MSN may be Microsoft, but for once it looks like they did something right. LOL.

Wow, at first I thought the words "operating system" could've triggered these results assuming they don't know any OSs exist but I was wrong.

Actually, I think it is somewhat significant that there are no major Windows hits on a search for 'operating system'.  Not because of the old joke/story about Windows not really being an OS.  But because nobody really considers Windows an OS.  In fact, the term "operating system" is somewhat unknown outside of esoteric technical circles.  If I asked my mom what OS her computer had, she wouldn't know (it's WindowsXP).  I think this is further evidence that the Windows scam goes muchmuchmuch deeper than just a couple shitty programs.  This looks more like brainwashing than marketing to me.

It's very strange. They litterly talk to their computer. If for example their USB stick doesn't work, they think it's because Windows XP is in a bad mood.
Or even when it's being slow, they think it's because Windows XP is under a lot of stress.

I don't think they're being 100% serious.

Anyway one of my sister's friends thought that the version of Windows on your computer deturmined how fast it is she onece said "my PC is Windows XP so it's better than the university's which is only Windows 2000", so I booted up Linux and explained the basic idea of an operating system to her.

I wish they weren't ... but if you'd known these people yourself, you'd know they weren't lying.
