Let's make a list of why Windows sucks

I'm betting you could use that gaming site just as well on Linux (through wine if necessary).

BZFlag is still one of the most addictive games out there.

The whole C drive reqiurement is M$ crap, too. Why can't you put your OS on a different drive letter in Windozes? Because it's too stupid. Same problem with installing certain apps. If MS Office is installed on a D drive you will have problems because some things were hard-coded.

-is as insecure as the anti-openbsd, hell it IS the anti-openbsd
-must dual boot between browsers if you want to test a page in more than one ie
-interface could have been designed by the gnome team
-microsofts own hit language isnt supported by default
-the microsoft sales guys can not do without buzzwords "mike, ubuntu does not come close to the general, ie global usability of windows xp"
like hell posix, THE internet, doesnt
-its interface was painted by a two year old

Gotta agree with the two-year-old and gnome bits.
 
Only reason for this: they take their users for idiots. Seems they believe that if it doesn't look fancy enough, people won't buy it. People will buy it alright regardless of the appearance - as long as they BELIEVE it works properly - which it doesn't.
 
Kinda reminds of the bit from the Simpsons that goes like this:
 
Homer: Mmm, chocolate (he gets a box of neopolitan out of the freezer and opens it to find all the chocolate ice-cream gone) - D'OH! Mmm, chocolate (he gets another box out - there's no chocolate in that either) - D'OH! Marge! We need some more vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream!
 
Marge: I'll get some at the store tomorrow, Homer.
 
Homer: Mmm, chocolate. (he puts the boxes back in the freezer)

-interface could have been designed by the gnome team

I thought gnome was designed from windows, but it could be the other way around

[Aloone_Jonez]

It probably was the other way round.

Seriously though, haven't KDE and Gnome both borrowed ideas from both Mac OS, Windows and what about CDE?

"Error: Drive C: not found"

Muhahahaah, there is no drive C: bitches !!!

Picturing Dave Chappele saying this

"PostScript printer driver" sounds like something this guy found on a forWindows install disc.  Which would explain why it didn't work.  Linux should be able to speak PostScript all by itself.  Connecting a PostScript printer to a usable port is pretty much the only step required.

True, but you can get more features and better performance if you load a more specific .ppd file into CUPS for the postscript printer.  .ppd files work in windows and linux... they plug into the postscript printer system.  Maybe that's what this knucklehead meant.

shell was coded so sloppily, that every now and then a menu doesnt dissappear

[_LiquidOxygen]

Kernel32 was coded as stupidly, particularly in Windows Mistake Edition - you wouldn't be able to go a week without a bloody Kernel error appearing.
I'd like to add another reason why Windows sucks: it crashes and you receive errors without having ever done anything to upset the Kernel department.

[piratePenguin]

With each new release, the user interface changes considerably, to the point that users fear Windows upgrades.

Compare that to OS X, for example (if they could just afford it, everyone would upgrade).

Windows is going to fail.
