yep, true
whenever i get any fatal errors, driver problems etc, XP is always able to fix them. since i got XP my computer hasn't completely died once. it used to die every few months when I had 98

If you work in IT
then it's fun arguing with your 45yr old boss who despises Microsoft and all things Gates. It's so easy to argue that he's wrong, as Bill Gates is the world's richest man. Woo

Yup, it's not bad.
But being second most popular OS alongside Win95 makes it virus-prone if left to its own devices + internet.

It's viruses
I didn't write this:
"...There is no such word as 'virii'. This is faux Latin hypercorrectness. Latin words ending in -us form the plural in -i if they're second declension nouns. However, 'virus' is not. It is a fourth declension mass noun, and has no distinct plural. Its English plural is simply 'viruses'."

you can't blame the guy for being
a success I agree, but its the success of a monopoly and people having little or no fuckin choice about whether to buy is software or no
but you can blame him for the shoddy buisness practices, and releasing software that hasn't been properly tested, and making the computer run for the benefit of the operating system instead of the other way round
