Windows is evil because it doesn't comply with standards and conventions.
MS takes a technology makes it work only with their stuff and names it something misleading.
Ie. .NET, spf2
The great things from Redmond are bought, stolen or hijacked.
I.e. MSSQL (which used to run on *nix), TCP stack (ganked from BSD), NTFS (lifted from HPFS done by IBM for OS/2)
My favorite windows error,

Eh, HPFS was done by Microsoft for OS/2--they were working with IBM to develop the OS.
