Linux users (aka children), how's it feel to know there's an entire group of individuals who are better at computers than you are? Meet Windows users. They are better than you.
They understand the hardware better, they understand the basic principles of computer science better, they know how networks work better than you. They understand the pros and cons of filesystems (including ntfs) because on Windows, you get to choose FS's; they understand the principles behind operating system design because they run into phrases like "Active Directory" and "User Account Control"; they can probably program, too, since learning a scripting language(e.g. Jscript and Powershell) vastly improves productivity on Windows (and this really pisses you off, since programming was one thing you always failed at on Linux.) Oh, and they probably know Linux better than you, since most advanced Windows
users these days are ex-Linux users who managed to learn Windows years ago, when it was much less user friendly(DOS).
At this point, a confident individual would admit to himself he has a lot to learn about Windows and computers in general. But since you lack the self esteem to do that, you run back to Linux, install Tux Racer (or whatever) and keep repeating to yourself "at least I can run games. at least I can run games."
If you're looking for a job, all this hits you even harder, because you realize a lot of the jobs require Windows in one way or another. Even many of the Linux related jobs recommend Windows! At this point, you rationalize "well the only thing I know is Linux, so I must be a Linux expert!" as if knowing only one thing makes you an automatic expert, or that learning Windows forces you to forget Linux entirely.

Macfags who have never used a PC before in their lives talking like they know everything there is to know about them based off of what they've heard other people who have also never used a PC say.
This is what I call the Macfag perpetual circle of ignorance and cow shit. It's a garbage in garbage out argument in a similar vein to what delusional religious freaks use when cornered. "PCs are shit because it's common knowledge. I don't need to use a PC to know anything about them. I read it somewhere on the internet, so I know for a fact they're bad."
Windows 7 is fucking god tier. You've just never used one. I'm so tired of being in my university library, minding my own business studying on my netbook when some retard with no self awareness whatsoever approaches me for no reason at all and says something like "you know PCs can't expose don't you?" or "why did you buy a PC? On my computer I can change settings and play games and install programs and shit." This happens so fucking often... and what's sad is, these people are serious. It's as much a social taboo to have a PC as it is to be a smoker, and it's totally based off of nothing but "woah, he has a different type of computer... I better go and alienate him"... it's socially acceptable to openly hassle people.
And don't pretend you've got a Parallels either, it counts for absolutely nothing.

Exactly, which is why I put together myself a Hackintosh. I can run OS X and Windows 7 without selling my soul to Apple with their tax. Take that, Mac users!

Actually I did pay for the Snow Leopard "upgrade" disc (since using the other methods suck ass), but it was only a measly 30 bucks. And that is all the money Apple will ever get from me. Everything else I pirate.

Wait, is this a kopipe in which someone swapped Windows and Linux?

Pardon my cultural contamination from the Imageboardistan foreigners. I must ask, however, how did you miss the terms ``/g/'' and ``copypasta'' in the post right before?
b-b-b-but windows 7 _is_ a godtier shell to run apps for, say, engineering on - shame they didn't bother with modular design, so that there's always bloat when you wouldn't need it.
But the ubiquitous driver support etc... is quite a timesaver when you don't feel like wasting hours on setup and customization.
I also feel fluffy inside from the recent policy of simply annoying users with invalid licences with small nearly-unintrusive error messages instead of reporting them to the fbi.
Since MS makes enough from enterprise clients they don't force antipiracy down the throat of home users - good form, I say!
Agreed, OP: The only reason people berate Windows is because it's a rather complex model of an OS to get one's head around, and I agree: however, the advantages of having features that actually work instead of being shittily tacked-on later outweigh the ability to stroke your nerd ego.
Windows is shit, even linux has many better features and functionalities than windows.
To bad its all either segfaulting shit or gives some obscure config error.

Linux is the Lisp of operating systems. It's shit, and everything else is worse.

God's real, though.
We're not in Kansas any longer has been the norm.
God says...
5:1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from
Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
5:2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the
house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
5:3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon
was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And
they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
5:4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was
fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the
head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the
threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5:5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into
Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this
day.

God says...
they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they
shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
8:13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no
grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade;
and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
8:14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into
the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God
hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because
we have sinned against the LORD.
8:15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health,
and behold trouble! 8:16 The snorting of his horses was heard from
Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his
strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all
that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
I was just thinking -- we have a performer guy in Vegas, Tony Roma or something. His voice was good, but I was
sitting asking myself why I'd want to see him. For that to happen, you'd have to have hit songs that I become
aware of and for that to happen... How could a Frank Sinatra style singer even possibly have a hit song?
I got to thinking of the songs God and I made. They're excellent melodies, but I'll bet Tony has good melodies,
too. Mine are from God. I'm not quite sure if they're superb. Most people have to be told what they like. I played
them for Mom -- blank. I have her make God talk -- nothin,. Parents are with the India-nigger doctor.
I know my niche for LoseThos is small, like Tony... fucken India-nigger won't give me my chance. Committed,
essentially in a reeducation Internet.
God says...
unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a
dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that
boweth down upon his knees to drink.
7:6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their
mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed
down upon their knees to drink water.
7:7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that
lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand:
and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
7:8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and
he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained
those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the
valley.
I didn't mean to disrespect the Tony Guy. I didn't know his name. I just thought plight of a Frank Sinatra-style
singer seemed like the plight of LoseThos, perhaps. A niche is putting it nicely. The lesson is, old style pop
music and old style technology are sure to be laughed-at by most, but enjoyed by some. I kinda laugh at myself.
I try to see myself as I am.
LoseThos is 64-bit but the graphics are all people notice. I'd be laughed-at if I said it was ultra-modern.
God says...
four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
27:30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they
had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would
have cast anchors out of the foreship, 27:31 Paul said to the
centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye
cannot be saved.
27:32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her
fall off.
27:33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take
meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and
continued fasting, having taken nothing.
27:34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your
health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
