Stay away from jalousie windows. They're a pain in the ass to clean and leak air like crazy. They are so inefficient, Al Gore prolly uses them.
Oh, wait...nevermind

8. End Task
A program hangs. You type... So true. In Linux, you can use a GUI to force quit. If you prefer the command line, you simply find the process ID# with ps -aux and then kill [PID#] it. Always works.

It’s nice to know that other people have the same grumbles. I have a dual boot—XP and Kubuntu. I didn’t think it would happen, but I never boot to XP anymore.

They forgot personalized menus, one of the worst user interface ideas ever in Microsoft products.

Booting. Fix that one, and the others go away.

Windows almost inspires difficult philsophical questions at times:
If I answer Yes To All why do I need to answer Yes To All a second time?

I object to Paint being on the list. Paint is great for exactly the reasons they don’t like it: it’s simple, it’s quick, it doesn’t do anything exciting. Anybody trying to write a bug about weird screen stuff loves Paint, instead of spending a paragraph failing to describe the problem, alt-Print Screen, open Paint, ctrl-V, save, attach to the bug report. It’s the Notepad of image editing.

Windows originally had the time zones showing on its time zone map. Now it doesn’t. Why even bother with a time zone map that doesn’t show time zones?
Yes, this counts as a major complaint. The vast misuse of CPU cycles is not important since my programs run in an eyeblink even in the faux simulated DOS ASCII window.

I have some old Windows 98 installation CDs.
I found out that if you play them backwards that you can hear satanic messages.
But its even worse if you play them forwards...it installs Windows.
