If this isn't a sure sign of how utterly crappy Windows is designed, I
don't know what is. And, as usual, all the blame is put on the user, who
shouldn't have installed this, or shouldn't have tried that, or should not
have followed the "funny link" his co-worker or family member sent him ...

Using Windows is waging a constant battle against the elements - and
inevitably losing in the end. Using Linux is like a walk in the park, in
comparison. Safe, predictabe, and even quite boring after a while. Nothing
happens unless you want it, nothing goes wrong, no viruses or malware to
watch out for ... boring boring boring. I think I'll go watch the
neighbour mow the lawn for a while, that's at least real work.
