I already did. Windows is grossly buggy and poorly engineered and implemented. An entire industry has grown up around Microsoft OS bugs. Its a joke...MS and it's (mostly beta) software products.

""Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. lab in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January, 1992."
Probably an urban legend but I read somewhere that Arthur C. Clarke said that if he wrote 2001 a space Odyssey today that instead of "Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. lab in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January, 1992"....
Clarke would have had the computer say "Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I've taken the liberty of removing the Windows operating system."
