There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level. Stuff that will make them scream, cry, and howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

That's a riot.

I've always been of the opion that when your computer goes arse over head, rather than spending it's time telling you that *something* has caused a general protection fault, it should just simply SAVE THE FUCKING PIECE OF WORK. Then is can continue with it's great collapse.

Back when I had Windows 95, I also had McAfee Office, which contained a program that allowed me to 'recover' when I got the blue screen of death, or other types of crashes. It was very handy sometimes.

I lost my first year Psychology-practical research work. Although - to be fair - that wasn't really Windows fault. The computer did catch fire, and I don't believe that Bill Gates is so evil he can cause long distance spontanious combustion.

Hey, Bill Gates is smart. You'll never know what he's capable of! Of course, it doesn't explain why Microsoft and their products have become crappy.
