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!
