Ah, the Yugo of software steps up to the plate again.

You know absolutely nothing about cars. Making the comparison between Microsoft Windows to a Yugo couldn't be more incorrect.

Yugo's were the safest cars ever to be on the road. They had a near zero crash/fatality rate. They also got great gas mileage (hundreds of miles per gallon.)

You know why? Because Yugo's spent more time on the back of a tow truck than actually driving down the road.

Now, if you want to compare Microsoft Windows to a Car, anyone who knows cars (like I do ...) would tell you that Windows is like a 1970's era Ford Pinto.

That's right. A Ford Pinto. Pinto's blew up, Microsoft Windows "blows up." WTH do you think a BSOD is? The OS going KABOOM! Just like a Ford Pinto (when it was rear-ended of course.)

Memory Collision = BSOD. Rear End Collision = Blowing Up Ford Pinto.

Same thing.

Now back to CARS-101 for you! (/humor)

I'm trying to remember the last time I saw a BSOD.

It has been more than ten years ...

And yes, I'm using Windows (XP/Vista/7/8).

Really? I haven’t seen a BSOD since Windows 2000. There are teenagers going to college who have never seen and have no idea what BSOD even means.

Pinto's blew up, Microsoft Windows "blows up."

For that to have ever been anywhere close to the truth, it would mean that the world would have stopped working, since, most of the world depends upon Windows machines to run, especially businesses.
