How you can make money and be famous by being a failure!

[This is a draft, but as I don't feel like continuing this note, well, I publish it...]

Have you ever wondered why an Operating System (O.S.) such as Microsoft Windows can be famous and used by so many people? You can ask the same for President Bush: type "failure" with Google search, and it will be the one result on the top. Altavista and Yahoo put it in second position. http://www.altavista.com/web/results?itag=ody&q=failure&kgs=0&kls=0 http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=failure

Because we, human beings, talk about good things, average things, but a lot about bad things! And talking about bad things make them really famous.

So what about Windows OS ?

Windows is THE OS that crashes so often that you really can't count how many times you saw that fucking Blue Screen Of Death, alias BSOD. Well, at least if you have been using that shit for more than a couple years. Well, actually, with the XP version, it slowly becomes less true if the "Service Pack" releases don't crash your system instantly.

Anyway, if you know a bit about computer _and_ Windows, I guess you have friends with whom you tak about it. And so what?

I have to reinstall, it behaves like a shit, it's dead, it's done its time... I have too many viruses, a fuckin' trojan I can't delete, damned spywares... etc.

So there are some geeks that like to know about that, and be proud of knowing how to erase such softwares, etc...

Well, of course, in a world of shit, it's great to know how to look clean. ^_^

So why I treat Windows like that? Don't you think I have a reason? A good reason! I have actually many good reasons.

First of all, if they did good job from the start, it wouldn't be such a shit: They spend their time copying (or taking inspiration?) from others, especially Macintosh. Bill Gates did make an awful copy of Macintosh to make his first Windows OS. It looked like a shit, but it was quite cheeper than the Mac one. So it took a very big part of the market: B.G. is a great business man!!! Now, Mac OS X Tiger is the source of inspiration for Windows Vista. Right? Not? Whatever, when you look at the Windows Vista (pre-release) screenshots, you easily recognize Windows themes... but also the Aqua look of Mac...

Then, Windows-compatible softwares: If you actually look at that, when you install an application, most of the time, but not always of course, you have no idea of what it really does to you system! Take an example: Kazaa. Of course it's less and less used. But who uses Windows and doesn't know about it? (of course there are such people). Kazaa used to install some applications you had no idea of their existance... and if you were simply asked whether you want or not, obviously you'd say no. This is the reason never were asked.

Thus, when your system becomes unstable because you've put and removed too many softwares, and your register database is too dirty, you have a "good option": take the CD, and reinstall... ^_^

Is it possible for a Windows user to realize the time one looses trying to make it good? Well, I did realize it.

So what? I couldn't realize it without the help of people encouraging me to do so, and great Operating Systems based on Gnu/Linux.

[note: I do know Windows much better that most of the people that I know. Because I've spent so much time on it since Windows 95 that I just can't forget.]
