Windows is Crap

Posted on October 9, 2007 01:46 PM by Joel Comm

That's it. I've had it.

I know it's been said thousands of times before, but I decided it was time that I said it.

I hate Windows.

The only reason I use Windows is because we live in a Microsoft Windows world.

As a computer gamer, I have found that there are more options for games on the PC than the Macintosh.

But I've had enough.

Windows is a crappy operating system.

It's a bloated-stuffed pig of a resource hog that stifles productivity and causes me a ridiculous amount of stress.

Over the years, I've owned countless PCs as well as a handful of Macs.

The fact of the matter is that the Mac operating system is more elegant, more functional and more enjoyable to use.

Purchasing the iPhone a few months back reminded me how smart Apple is and how superior their product is.

I decided it was time to purchase a Macbook to be my new traveling companion. It's so much easier to use than my PC laptop. And it runs fasters... how about that.

I am going to do everything in my power to avoid purchasing new PCs. I want to continue avoiding Windows Vista like the plague. (Maybe it IS the plague?)

Incidentally, all of my web servers run using the Linux operating system. I wouldn't have it any other way.

So there. I've said it. Windows really does suck.

    Omg, i so totally agree!
    I hate Windows, really hate them!
    The only reason their more populer is because, they don't make software compatable with macs because their intimidated.
    I think that people think Windows are better because their so much more popular, but most companies use Macs, and thats saying something

    I got a computer that has Vista on it, and half of the programs I use and rely on flat-out don't work. They don't run. I've tried the little tweaks that they and other Windows gurus told me to try and they don't work, either. Of course, the companies (especially the logo software company, Summitsoft) didn't respond to my tech support issues, either, so they're on my hit list.

    I recently got Windows Vista too, wow so many crappy errors on it that it is not even funny any longer.. back to Xp for me until Windows Vista is becoming more user friendly.

    If I had the money, I would go full out Mac. They cannot natively play PC games but I have heard good things about bootcamp. Windows is over-rated, over supported by third parties such as software developers and they need to wake up and get their head out of the clouds and start making things for Linux and Mac, I prefer Linux over anyone just because I believe in free software, but as far as quality Mac is next.. windows wouldn't even make the list - not even their new born Vista, in fact XP as sucky as it was is still better than vista.

    when I use windows I have to make sure my workshop is locked up as the sledgehammer lives in there. My sledgehammer like me hates windows but it's my girlfriends computer and I have to be sooooooo careful.

    I recently had the same problem with a sony ericson mobile phone.It was my phone and it met the sledgehammer. The sledgehammer killed it. DEAD!

    Is this a case of "tech-rage" or is it normal to be infuriated by large companies that hide behind a fancy looking website that refuses to deal with any negative feedback?

    I hate installing new drivers b/c they never just take. There's always a "Driver Install Failed" message waiting at the end.

    The last install of a _Windows_ Security Update has forced my machine to freeze. The HD had to be wiped and now my XP Pro is no longer stable. I have been working on it for 2-3 days straight.

    Windows crashes Windows.

    Have you noticed how M$ only release a few programs for mac, and even then, the programs, Windows media player for example, are 3-4 releases old?!
